This page will contain notes from an SPIE short course that I teach at the annual SPIE Photonics West/BiOS symposium held at the end of January every year in San Jose, CA.

Specific topics that will be covered in this short course include:

 The origins and statistics of laser speckle patterns
 Basics of light scattering in dense, pseudo-ordered media
 Optical elastography system design considerations
 Tissue Mechanics in terms of strain energy functions
 Generation of elastograms
 Numerical Algorithms for Tracking Speckle Motion
