TBMI45 Medical Image Analysis, 7,5 ECTS credits.
/Medicinsk bildanalys/

For:   D   I   Ii   IT   TB   Y  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 70
Rec. self-study hours: 130

  Area of Education: Technology

Subject area: Biomedical Engineering

  Advancement level (A-D): D

Aim:
The aim of the course is to give profound knowledge of how different medical images, volumes and sequences are generated and analysed. Focus is especially on techniques and methods related to magnetic resonance tomography (MRI), ultrasound and computer tomography (CT). A central part of the course is devoted to the design of multidimensional lters and algorithms for the purpose of extracting different types of information from the medical datasets.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Algebra, Calculus, Signal theory

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Supplementary courses:
Multidimensional Signal Analysis (TSBB35), Anatomy and Physiology (TBME02), Computer Vision (TSBB04), Medical Imaging (TBMT02), Neural networks and Learning Systems (TBMI26)

Organisation:
Lectures, lessons and laboratory work

Course contents:
Medical imaging systems: Physical principles and image reconstruction algorithms for magnetic resonance tomography (MRI), ultrasound and computer tomography (CT). Analysis methods: Multidimensional Fourier analysis, local structure analysis in 2D, 3D and 4D (3D + time), motion/velocity estimation, registration, segmentation using adaptive contours and surfaces. Applications: Image enhancement, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), detection of emphysema, mammography, etc.

Course literature:
Material is handed out during the course Signal processing for computer vision, G. Granlund H. Knutsson, Kluwer P.P.Denby B.Heaton, IoP MR - Basic Principles of MR Imaging, Philips Medical Systems
