Abstract

The school (1.9. - 12.9.2008) will discuss the recent progress and challenges in biological and medical imaging. Cutting edge techniques using a wide range of imaging mechanisms will be put in the context of selected biomedical problems. In particular, multimodal and multiscale imaging methods as well as supporting technologies such as computer aided image analysis and modeling will be discussed.

Objective

The students know about the possibilities and limitations of a wide range of modern imaging methods and can propose suitable methods for a given imaging problem.

Content

Cutting edge techniques using a wide range of imaging mechanisms such as magnetic resonance, positron emission, infrared and optical microscopy, electron microscopy and x-ray imaging will be put in the context of selected biomedical problems. In particular, multimodal and multiscale imaging methods as well as supporting technologies such as computer aided imaging analysis and modeling will be discussed. On the first day, a basic introduction to the following topics will be provided: Sources, emitters, wavelength, imaging principles, resolution, adsorption, etc. The school will be closed with a panel discussion on the possibility of the integration of different imaging methods.
