Aim: Recent years have seen a strong interest in the application of coherent light and optical sensors for biology and medicine. This is partly due to the development of new, advanced laser systems, partly to the development of integrated optical sensors and finally, the increasing emphasis on precise and efficient diagnostics and analysis of biological and medical processes.
The course is structured in four main topics: 1. Optical methods for imaging in humane tissue, 2. New laser systems for medical diagnostics and therapy, 3. Optical bio-sensors and non-invasive spectroscopy in the human eye and 4. Biomedical image processing.
| |
Contents: The lectures will cover the biological and medical background for application of light for treatment and diagnosis, especially propagation of light in humane tissue, interaction between light and tissue, possibilities for therapy with light and imaging methods and image analysis. Another important topic is the optical properties of the eye: Spectral properties, fluorescence of the various parts of the eye, optical diagnostics by scattered light within the eye, properties of the retina and possibilities for healing by optical treatment. Further, modern coherent light sources will be covered such as the optical properties of laser beams, different laser systems and their potential for bio-medical applications. Throughout the course practical examples and demonstrations will be used whenever possible.
