Students are to complete the Program of Work that corresponds with their respective degree program and year of entry into the graduate program.
Imaging Science and Informatics Portfolio Program
The overarching theme of this program is to train "comprehensive imaging scientists" in the skills necessary to identify clinically relevant problems. Topics include: developing instrumentation, sensors, and contrast agents to form images appropriate for the problem; and analyzing the resulting imaging data using signal processing, mathematical modeling, visualizations, and informatics techniques to improve the prevention, detection, diagnosis, and treatment of human diseases.
The basic requirement to complete this portfolio program is 12 hours of coursework (4 courses), which provide the requisite core knowledge for an imaging scientist.
- BME 381J.3 Biomedical Imaging Modalities (3 credit hours)
- Elective in Image Processing (3 credit hours)
- Elective in Modeling and Visualization (3 credit hours)
- Elective in Data Mining and Informatics (3 credit hours)
Some, but not necessarily all, of these courses may count toward your degree requirements as well. Additionally, optional coursework, seminars, and externship opportunities are available to portfolio students. If you are interested in completing the Imaging Science and Informatics Portfolio Program, please contact the Graduate Program Coordinator.
Students who complete the portfolio program must submit a Portfolio Completion Form to the Graduate School to have the portfolio added to their transcript.
