Foundations of Light Propagation in Tissue and Review of Current Optical Imaging Techniques Which Enable Tissue Visualization At Several Scales of Depth. Special Attention Will Be Given To Tomographic Approaches For Imaging Depths in Which Light Is Completely Diffusive. Current Applications of Diffuse Light Mostly In The Fields of Biology and Medicine. Light Scattering By Small Particles. Light Propagation in Biological Tissue# Models And Simulation Tools. Ballistic Techniques in Optical Imaging. Diffusive Techniques in Optical Imaging. Hybrid Techniques in Optical Imaging. Learning Outcomes# at The End of The Course The Student Will Be# 1. Familiar With The Physical Underpinnings of Light Propagation In Biological Tissue. 2. Familiar With The Analytical and Numerical Techniques Used in The Field. 3. Capable of Analyzing The Advantages And Disadvantages of Various Imaging Techniques and Will Know How To Explain The Origin of The Differences.
