EEE6423   Introduction to Biomedical Imaging Sciences   (10 credits)

Description

The course aims to teach the principles and applications of biomedical imaging and image analysis technologies employed in current biomedical research. The first, briefer part of the course will provide the students with a refresher on the underlying principles of biomedical imaging including the basic physics and mathematics associated with each modality including X-ray CT, SPECT, PET, and MRI. The second, more extensive part of the course provides the descriptions of the methods currently being used for biomedical image processing and analysis. Concepts of digital images and image enhancement are first introduced. Advanced image analysis technologies such as image segmentation, registration and morphological analysis will then be described.
