Course description
In the area of medical imaging, it is necessary to create computer programs to process and analyse image data. This course deals with both the theoretical knowledge and practical skills of working with (large) image datasets.
Students will learn how to write source code and create a computer program to process medical images efficiently. This includes debugging and problem solving.
Course includes algorithms and data structures used in medical image analysis. Modern programming techniques are used, paying attention to efficient computer instructions and memory usage.
Examination:
- Written exam: 60%
- Two computer assignments: 40%
