- Educational objectives
- The main objective of the course is to provide students with the basic knowledge to understand the theoretical fundamentals, experimental development and biomedical applications of modern spectroscopic techniques.
The main knowledge gained will cover:
- The physical principles at the base of absorption and scattering of the electromagnetic radiation,
- The physical principles and technology (hardware and software) behind the development of the main spectroscopic instruments,
- The scope and potential of the main spectroscopic applications in biomedical imaging
The main skills that the course aims to convey are:
- Use the full potential of biomedical spectroscopies
- Be able to propose innovative solutions - Prerequisites
- To understand the contents of the course, it is necessary to have acquired basic knowledge on Structure of Matter.
- Teaching methods
- - Lectures on physical principles underlying both absorption and scattering of electromagnetic radiation and physical principles and technology behind the development of the main spectroscopic instruments;
- Practical exercises that illustrate the potential of the main spectroscopic applications in biomedical imaging;
- Seminars given by experts. - Learning verification modality
- Oral exam.
The oral exam consists in a discussion lasting about 30 minutes aimed at ascertaining the level of knowledge on technical content and methodology of the course (the physical principles underlying the processes of absorption and scattering of electromagnetic radiation, the physics and technology (hardware and software) behind the development of the main spectroscopic instrumentation, purposes and the potential of spectroscopic applications in biomedical imaging. The oral exam will also test the student communication skills and his autonomy in the organization and exposure of the theoretical topics. - Extended program
- Theoretical foundations, experimental development and biomedical applications of modern spectroscopic techniques. Particular attention will be paid to non-invasive imaging techniques based on vibrational spectroscopy employing traditional electromagnetic sources or sincrotron light sources.
