Bioengineering has multiple tracks including biomedical imaging, neuroengineering, synthetic biology… If I’m interested in biomedical imaging, which college between Duke, Upenn, MIT and Stanford has the best performance in this field?
You have a couple other threads asking a similar question. What are you looking for that hasn’t already been answered?

And btw, do MIT and Duke BME accept transfer students during the freshmen year?
This question is asking about school’s proficiency in imaging track
I am willing to give you the benefit of the doubt that you are a strong candidate for any of these schools, but your inflexible certainty that there is one magically “best” uni that will give you a meaningful advantage in getting into the “best” PhD program does not show the maturity of thought that I would expect for somebody who has the academic chops to get into any of them, much less somebody who wants a career in research!
In my reply to your other post, I referenced that strength in a given specialty area matters for postgraduate programs- which is years away for you.
A BS in BME has a very prescriptive courseload, and imaging will be a teeny part of that in any UG program. Duke, for example, does have an elective sequence in imaging- a couple of electives you can take in your final year. Check out Table 1-C for incoming BME students:
It will be essentially similar same at all of the strong programs you are considering:

And, you don’t know what you don’t know: you might discover that you like another subspecialty more, once you get further into the field.
As indicated above, user has asked this question before. Feel free to answer on one of their other threads. Closing
