Objective
Medical imaging has been an integral part in modern healthcare procedures. Advances in deep learning have revolutionized the analysis of biomedical data, clinical diagnosis, and prognosis. In this course, students will learn fundamental image processing techniques, characteristics of different types of medical images, and how to apply different classical image processing techniques to different types of medical images. Topics covered in this course include but are not limited to:
- An overview of medical imaging modalities and their clinical use,
- Introduction to medical image computing, including registration, segmentation, classification, reconstruction, super-resolution, and visualization,
- Traditional image processing techniques for medical image analysis,
- Machine learning/deep learning for medical image analysis, and
- Frontline of AI in medical imaging and case studies.
醫學成像已成為現代醫療保健中不可或缺的一部分。深度學習的進步改變了生物醫學資料分析、臨床診斷和預後。在本課程中，學生將學習基本的影像處理技術，不同類型醫學圖像的特點，以及如何將不同的經典影像處理技術應用於不同類型的醫學圖像。本課程涵蓋的主題包括但不限於:
-醫學成像模式及其臨床應用概述，
-醫學圖像計算介紹，包括配准，分割，分類，重建，超解析度和視覺化，
