Organisation and examination
Teaching in the first semester, review in January
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
Present course topic includes an overview of methods and techniques applied for encoding and processing of medical images. The image formats as well as techniques used for data handling, sharing, archiving and exchange will be presented. The course will address three imaging modalities. Namely, positron emission tomography (PET), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Technical aspects concerning acquiring modalities will be discussed, along with advantages and limitations for each distinct modality. Image processing, specifically image co-registration (realignment, co-registration, normalization, fusion) will be addressed. Image processing oriented statistical analysis will be discussed as well.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The aim of our course is to introduce students to basic image processing principles such as encoding, handling, sharing, archiving of medical images. Data processing skills development including image co-registration will be facilitated as well.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
General physics, concepts of image and signal processing are desirable.
