Biomedical Imaging and Medical Physics(BIMP)

Study Program Director: Joseph Lo, PhD
 
This program encourages medical students to explore many exciting research topics in radiology and imaging, such as magnetic resonance microscopy, molecular imaging, breast ultrasound, and nuclear medicine. Students have the opportunity to work with a diverse group of research and clinical faculty from radiology as well as biomedical engineering and medical physics. The program strongly emphasizes the use of quantitative and engineering methods to solve clinically significant problems. Students may select from a broad array of research areas including tumor biology, digital image analysis, predictive modeling, computer aided diagnosis, imaging instrumentation, and medical physics, to name just a few.

Each student selects a faculty preceptor in consultation with the program director and designs an individual plan in cooperation with the preceptor and director. The primary emphasis of each student's plan is expected to be research. Students may, however, also be advised to take an existing course or to set up a tutorial with a faculty member to fill in deficient areas or to acquire needed quantitative or engineering skills. Depending on the subject area selected, a student may initiate a new research project of limited scope or take over a well-defined part of an existing project.

Students taking this program would benefit from, but do not need to have, some prior training or experience in one or more of the following areas: mathematics, computer science, physics, chemistry, or engineering (electrical, mechanical, biomedical, etc.).
