Learning outcomes |
Digital processing of medical imaging data allows the extraction of quantitative measures and the generation of complex visualization, which can be used for monitoring of disease progression, diagnosis, preoperative planning and intraoperative guidance and monitoring.
The objective of the course is to show how computer science can be used to model, analyze and process medical data in order to improve and / or facilitate diagnostics.
This course covers some of the principles and algorithms used in advanced image processing, and the main techniques for image analysis, both applied to medical imaging.
At the end of the UC student should be able to create a system to aid diagnosis, which use methods that are best suited to a specific type of medical imaging. The student should also be able to propose amendments to existing methods or even propose new methods best suited to the type images he wants to treat.
