Position of the course

The goal of this course is to make the students familiar with medical imaging and image processing techniques. An overview will be given of the working mechanisms of the most important medical imaging techniques, their advantages and disadadvantages , their applications and recent technical developments. In addition, an introduction is given to the most commonly used techniques in medical image processing and analysis. 
 

Contents

  • Introduction to images and image processing: sampling, filters convolution theorem 
  • X-rays radiography and principle of computed tomography and analytical reconstruction  
  • SPECT imaging: collimation, detection and image degrading effects 
  • PET imaging: principle, image degrading effects and iterative reconstruction  
  • Ultrasonic imaging  
  • MRI: basic principles of magnetic resonance and image formation 
  • Image enhancement and filtering: histogram-based methods, linear and nonlinear filters for noise reduction, edge enhancement and detection. 
  • Image registration and visualization 
  • Segmentation: thresholding, region growing, level sets, classification, mathematical morphology
