影像与医学物理学哲学博士

影像科学一直由基本物理学驱动，至少可以追溯到第一届诺贝尔物理学奖，获得伦琴的X射线应用。如今，无线电波和X射线在组织深处产生令人惊叹的高分辨率图像，杜克医院每天使用抗物质（以正电子发射断层扫描或PET的形式）来诊断癌症，X射线，β射线和带电粒子束被用于诊断癌症。用于杀死患病的细胞。杜克大学的工作分为两大类。在一个极端情况下，我们开发了下一代技术（例如超极化磁共振成像和非线性显微镜），应用量子力学来提取分子信息在现有方式中并不常见。其中一些工作侧重于材料科学（包括对文艺复兴时期绘画的三维分析），但大多数是生
Imaging science has always been driven by fundamental physics-going back at least to the very first Physics Nobel Prize, to Roentgen for X-ray applications. Today, radiowaves and X-rays produce stunning high resolution images deep in tissue, antimatter (in the form of positron emission tomography or PET) is used daily at Duke Hospital to diagnose cancer, and X-ray, - ray and charged particle beams are used to kill diseased cells. Work at Duke falls into two broad categories. At one extreme, we develop next-generation techniques (such as hyperpolarized magnetic resonance imaging and nonlinear microscopy), applying quantum mechanics to extract molecular information is not commonly present in existing modalities. Some of this work focuses on materials science (including three-dimensional analysis of Renaissance paintings) but most is biological, with applications from excised tissue (to improve pathology) to preclinical and clinical imaging.
