ELEC 518: BIOMEDICAL OPTICS & ULTRASOUND
Spring 2027 · Section 002 · CRN 24171
This course introduces the science and engineering of biomedical applications based on optics and ultrasound. Students will explore how light travels in tissue, how ultrasound waves move through fluids and solids, and how these signals interact with the body. The course also covers computer modeling tools for light and the design of sensing devices using ultrasound. By the end, students will understand the foundations of optical and ultrasound technologies that support applications such as medical imaging, disease diagnosis, therapy guidance, and brain research. Cross-list: ELEC 418. Recommended Prerequisite(s): Knowledge and understanding of differential equations (or equivalent) Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for ELEC 518 if student has credit for ELEC 418.
