医学生物物理学哲学博士-生物医学影像

研究生培训计划是医学生物物理学系的重要组成部分，其历史可以追溯到50年前，它起源于安大略省癌症研究所的癌症研究。该系提供硕士（MSc）和博士学位级别的跨学科研究型研究生课程。MSc程序是常见的切入点，但重点是PhD程序。该课程的目的是拓宽所有学生的背景，其中大多数人具有生命或物理科学的本科背景。<br> <br>生物系统的功能，其大小可以像一个细胞中的单个细胞器一样小。或与整个人体一样大，与人体各部分的空间排列紧密相关。成像技术提供了一种识别和理解这些空间模式的方法，有助于医学诊断和理解整个生命周期的健康
The Department of Medical Biophysics is an interdisciplinary department with a strong history of excellence and discovery in cancer research, treatment, and beyond. Located primarily at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Sunnybrook Research Institute, and SickKids Research Institute, the department offers research training leading to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. The multidisciplinary program in cancer research and broader biomedical research cuts across the conventional boundaries of biology, physics, translational medicine and engineering to deliver a modern, advanced academic curriculum and world-class research training.<br>In this specialization within our PhD program, students complete a thesis-based PhD, while completing a structured medical physics course curriculum. The specialized program provides a research-intensive environment that immerses students in clinical technologies pertinent to medical imaging, such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and nuclear medicine, and radiation therapy. Cutting edge research involving machine learning, theranostics, and heavy particle therapy are ongoing. Students gain skills to pursue the production of high quality research and develop leadership skills.<br>The functioning of a biological system, which can be as small as individual organelles within a cell or as large as the whole of the human body, is closely linked to the spatial arrangement of its parts. Imaging technology provides a means to identify and understand these spatial patterns, aiding both in medical diagnosis and understanding healthy development across the lifespan. MBP researchers are working to develop new imaging technologies as well as new medical applications of existing imaging technologies. Some of the technology areas that are active within the department include magnetic resonance, ultrasound, magnetoencephalography, X-ray and optical techniques applied to a range of organ systems and across a range of diseases. Depending on the stage of technology development and the ultimate application, these projects may include investigations of the fundamental physical principles, engineering of d
