e-Health and bio-imaging (HTI 7)

Learning objectives

At the term of this module, students will be able to:
- enumerate, identify and discuss the common principles of the reference acquisition techniques in medical imaging (CT, MRI, echography, PET) and their complementarities;
- describe the physical phenomena involved in image formation and identify the transform space corresponding to the measures/data acquisition;
- interpret the parameters of the acquisition protocol specific to each technique and their impact on the image obtained;
- in the framework of the development of a computer-aided diagnosis tool at a small scale, but realistic, and exploiting an image processing toolbox provided (e.g. MorphoTool software):
- conceive a segmentation approach of anatomical/pathological structures in a given medical image and implement the algorithm as an execution script,
- evaluate its performance on several images of the same type and,
- optimize the algorithm such that it could achieve equivalent results on the whole image test set.
