Acquire High-demand Medical Imaging Skills
From X-rays that reveal broken bones to microscopic images that capture details of cells and tissues, medical imaging allows healthcare professionals and researchers to see what the naked eye cannot. Medical imaging uses technologies and physical principles to create and process images of the human body and biological tissues. These technologies play an important role in medical diagnosis, treatment, and biomedical research.
Michigan Tech's on-campus Medical Imaging Graduate Certificate focuses on the engineering and physics behind medical imaging technologies. You'll develop specialized knowledge of imaging systems, image processing, and the principles involved in designing and developing biomedical imaging devices.
Who is This Certificate For?
This certificate is designed for engineering graduates and experienced industry professionals who want to expand their knowledge of medical imaging technologies and their biomedical applications. It's also a good fit for graduate students seeking specialized study in biomedical imaging, image processing, and the development of medical imaging devices.
What You Need to Know
You'll study biomedical optics, medical imaging, and computer vision for microscopic images. Coursework examines how light travels through biological tissues, how waves interact with matter, and how image-processing techniques extract information from microscopic images. Analyze imaging requirements in biomedical applications, engineering and physics principles to specific biomedical imaging problems, imaging device development and theory of operation, and design of medical imaging tools.
You'll develop an appreciation of the design, development, and applications of diagnostic and/or therapeutic imaging devices for biomedical applications.
