Functional imaging :
Is the simultaneous quantification of the structural and functional aspects of a biological system? Modern X-ray, nuclear magnetic resonance and other means of imaging in relatively noninvasive ways have made functional imaging increasingly practical. The doctoral program in functional imaging, a collaborative effort between Marquette University and the Medical College of Wisconsin, trains students in the use of these new technologies to obtain high-resolution structural, kinematic and kinetic data from intact organs, and in the use of mathematical modeling to understand the organ physiology. Special registration for this program is required, as courses are taken at both institutions.
