Medical Image Computing:
Machine-learning methods and

Advanced-MRI applications
Overview
Medical imaging is increasingly being used as a first step for clinical diagnosis of a large number of diseases, including
disorders of the brain, heart, lung, kidney, muscle, etc. Among the modalities that find widespread use is magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI), due its ability to image bones as well as soft tissue. In the case of major abnormalities such
as tumors, a radiologist can easily spot abnormalities in the MR images. However, subtle changes in the tissue are
difficult to locate for the human eye. Hence, advanced image processing techniques can be of great medical value
to assist the radiologist as well as to understand the basic mechanism of action in a large number of diseases. Further,
early diagnosis is critical for better clinical outcome.
This course is designed as an introductory course in medical image processing and analysis for engineers and
quantitative scientists, including students and faculty. It will primarily focus on MR imaging and analysis with a special
emphasis on brain and mental disorders. Apart from the basics such as edge detection and segmentation, we will
also cover advanced concepts such as shape analysis, probabilistic clustering, nonlinear dimensionality reduction,
and diffusion MRI processing. This course will also have several hands-on segments that will allow the students to
get a first-hand feel of the opportunities and challenges in medical image analysis.
Course participants will learn these topics through lectures and hands-on experiments. Also, case studies and
assignments will be shared to stimulate research motivation of participants.
Modules A: Medical Imaging and Analysis Basics : July 23 – July 25

B: Machine learning and advanced topics : July 25 – July 27
Number of participants for the course will be limited to fifty.
