This course will provide a background in medical imaging modalities and the unique aspects of image processing as it pertains to medical imaging. We will cover what an image is, how it is formed through six imaging modalities, and how images are typically stored, as well as background topics such as image metrics, quantification, filtering and transforms. More advanced topics will be discussed such as visualization, image enhancement, segmentation and registration. The final few weeks will introduce the topic of neural networks in image processing. Students will be expected to read and discuss publications, as well as complete an implementation project and report. Recommended course background: programming & linear algebra.
