A four-course program developed by UW Radiology and Bioengineering is now being offered for students interested in a career in the state-of-the-art biomedical imaging techniques.

This program introduces core concepts of biomedical imaging, which is a multidisciplinary field where physics, chemistry, engineering, biology, and medicine converge. In-depth training on the fundamentals of image science is emphasized for all biomedical imaging students.


Coursework combines principles of engineering and molecular and cellular biology with essential elements from physiology, anatomy, physics, computer science, and mathematics to provide a rigorous background for career development in industrial and academic environments.

The objective of the program is to present fundamental concepts of biomedical imaging systems with enough detail to allow students to pursue graduate-level research in all major imaging modalities.
