Dynamics of Physiological Systems. Course begins with overview of linear representations of cardiovascular systems and introduction to rudimentary aspects of physiologic control. Attention will then concentrate on topics relating to physiological systems identification. Format will be didactic in part, supplemented by seminar presentations, literature review, and computational problems. A survey of medical imaging modalities and applications.
Emphasis is on image formation and image analysis.
Physiological Transport Phenomena. Principles and Applications of Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Topics include signal generation, spatial localization, pulse sequence design, Fourier transform reconstructions, image processing, instrumentation, artifacts, MR angiography, cardiac MR, and echo planar imaging. Math 194 or equivalent recommended. Engineering Models of Cellular Phenomena.
