Course Goals (acquired competencies): Having successfully completed this course, you will be able to: explain the fundamentals of: image formation and acquisition, image representation in the spatial and frequency domains, the respective roles of sampling, quantization, transformation and the HVS; explain the basic mechanisms and modalities of biomedical imaging; understand the characteristics of images obtained via different mechanisms and modalities; roughly understand the applicability of individual modalities to medical diagnostics/therapy; demonstrate practical basic image processing skills ( ltering, enhancement, restoration, motion, compression, segmentation, registration); discuss applications of image processing techniques to biomedical image processing and choose what types kinds of image processing are suitable for given biomedical applications; evaluate whether an image processing system is a good candidate for given biomedical information system; keep up with recent advances in image processing and identify possible biomedical applications.
Course Syllabus: Basic concepts in digital image processing: Image representation in the spatial and frequency domains; Digitization; Visual perception; Noise and image quality; Components of an image processing system. Biomedical imaging modalities: physics of X-rays, the Fourier slice theorem, x-ray and CAT imaging; Physical and physiological principles of magnetic resonance and MR imaging; Physical and physiological principles of ultrasound and ultrasound imaging.
