Aims

This class is devoted to the methods of medical images quantitative analysis. The theory is illustrated with exercices and demonstrations including examples of anatomical and functional medical images processing.

Main themes

A) Extension of the signal notion to images - Basics on main medical imagers - Main features of medical images B) Introduction to medical images processing - Filtering methods - Basics on mathematical morphology - Analysis and segmentation C) Viewing algorithms - Surfaces viewing - Volumes viewing - Animation D) Implementation - Introduction to coding and transmission - Software integration E) Applications - 2D imagery - 3D imagery.
