Course description

This course will address about how to measure, analyze, and evaluate the biological functions of in vivo human skin, with a focus on the tissue optics which is the core of optical measurements and spectral imaging techniques. This course corresponds to the specialized integrating courses of the curriculum of the Department of Bio-Functions and Systems Science.

Expected Learning

Learners who successfully complete this course will be able to understand the measuring techniques, analyses, and evaluations of the biological functions of in vivo human skin as well as the fundamentals of tissue optics and tissue spectroscopy.
