Education

BIC provides educational support encompassing all aspects of biomedical imaging.

For a general overview of BIC facilities and instrumentation, consider attending our short course: Introduction to the Biomedical Imaging Center available through the Center for Biomedical Research Support (CBRS).

BIC also participates in:

  • The Dell Medical School Radiology Residency program (B. Patel)
  • BME 385J/377T, Imaging Clinical Immersion (H. Rylander / J. Virostko /J. Leahy)
  • BME xxxx, Soft Tissue Biomechanics (M. Rausch)

Related courses at the graduate student level include:

  • BME 381J, Biomedical Imaging
  • NEU 385L, Foundations of Neuroimaging
  • Analysis of fMRI Data
  • PSY 383T, Principles of Neuroscience II
  • PSY 383C, Functional Neuroanatomy
  • PSY 385L(12), Quantifying Brain Structure

These courses are intended to provide students with skills in two critical areas, neuroimaging and functional neuroscience. Neuroimaging skills include understanding how the MRI scanner works, how to design MRI experiments, and how to analyze imaging data. Functional neuroscience skills involve understanding the brain, its function in various psychological tasks, and its structure.
