AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Il corso introduce algoritmi per la ricostruzione e l'elaborazione delle immagini biomediche. In particolare si trattano, anche attraverso esercitazioni di laboratorio guidate, ricostruzione tomografiche e MRI, segmentazione, algoritmi iterativi per PET e SPECT

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The aim is to knowledge of biomedical images reconstruction and processing algotithms.

In particular this unit introduces: Filtered Back projection, MRI reconstruction, itertive methods for PTE and SPECT and

ITK/VTK software for registration and segmentation of biomedical images

TEACHING METHODS

Combination of traditional lectures (28 hours) and laboratory sessions (20 hours).
