| Main themes |
This course will cover acquisition and processing of medical images.
The first part of the course will introduce the different imaging modalities (X-ray, CT, MRI, US, nuclear medicine), cover ing the general physical principles, the main parameters which characterize image quality (e.g. SNR, spatial resolution, sensitivity) and artefact management. Clinical applications of these imaging systems will illustrate their use in medical diagnosis.
The second part of the course will review algorithmic tools available for image processing, particularly image segmentation, coregistration of images acquired with different modalities and statistical atlas construction. Storage and image transmission systems (PACS) will be discussed together with image format (DICOM), image compression (JPEG2000) and annotation methods. Finally, advanced imaging techniques (functional MRI, perfusion and diffusion MRI measurements) and image guided treatement and surgery will be reviewed.
