Course Description: Biomedical Image Processing aims at familiarizing the student with the basic concepts of image processing as they are applied to medical imaging problems. The course will cover fundamental concepts in digital image processing, including a brief overview of basic image processing, image enhancement in spatial and frequency domain, morphological image processing, image segmentation, and feature detection. Image analysis methods on the most common medical imaging modalities (X-ray, MRI, CT, ultrasound) will be covered. MATLAB will be extensively used for implementing and analyzing image processing algorithms. Projects and assignments will provide students experience working with actual medical imaging data.
