Imaging techniques provide ways of knowing structure and function in biology at different scales. The multidisciplinary nature and rapid advancement of imaging sciences requires imaging education to begin early in the biology curriculum. Guided by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Roadmap initiatives, we incorporated a nanoimaging, molecular imaging, and medical imaging teaching unit into three 1-h class periods of an introductory course on ways of knowing biology. Activities were derived from NIH Roadmap initiatives in nanomedicine, regenerative medicine, and nuclear medicine. The course materials we describe contributed positively to student learning gains in quantifying and interpreting images, in characterizing imaging methods that provide ways of knowing biological structure and function, and in understanding scale in biology and imaging. The NIH Roadmap provides a useful context to educate students about the multidisciplinary imaging continuum.
成像技术提供了在不同尺度上了解生物学结构和功能的方法。成像科学的多学科性质和快速发展要求成像教育在生物学课程中尽早开始。在国立卫生研究院（NIH）路线图计划的指导下，我们将一个纳米成像、分子成像和医学成像教学单元纳入了一门关于了解生物学方法的入门课程的三个1小时课时中。活动源自NIH路线图在纳米医学、再生医学和核医学方面的计划。我们所描述的课程材料对学生在量化和解释图像、表征提供了解生物学结构和功能方法的成像方法以及理解生物学和成像中的尺度方面的学习收获有积极贡献。NIH路线图为教育学生了解多学科成像连续体提供了一个有用的背景。
