克利夫蘭州立大學(xué)

Currently, there is tremendous growth in optics, condensed matter, and medical physics caused by rapid developments in the fields of superconductivity, electro optic materials, optical, acoustical, and NMR imaging, semiconductor devices, tomography, holography, and image-processing. The Physics Department of Cleveland State University offers an MS degree in physics, with emphasis on optics and condensed matter physics, or on medical physics, designed for applied scientists and engineers who wish to develop competence in these rapidly advancing fields. In 2005, the American Physical Society classified the Master of Science in Physics program at Cleveland State in the "strongest professional master's degree program" category.

OPTICS AND MEDICAL IMAGING SPECIALIZATION

INTRODUCTION

The recent growth in the fields of optics, optical, acoustical, and NMR imaging, tomography, holography, and image processing brought strong interest from local companies and hospitals in expertise in contemporary optics and modern imaging techniques. The Physics Department of Cleveland State University offers an M.S. degree in Physics, with an emphasis on Optics and Medical Imaging designed for scientists and engineers who wish to develop competence in contemporary optics and modern imaging techniques. This specialization includes courses taught by the Physics Department faculty and by medical physicists from the Cleveland Clinic.
