Medical Imaging Systems 1

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Cybernetics

Synopsis:

The cours presents basic medical imaging systems and their properties, including X-rays, digital angiography, computed tomography, gamma cameras, SPECT, PET, and infrared sensors. We shall also study the algorithms of image analysis and enhancement and reconstruction algorithms.

Requirements:

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Image processing, medical imaging. Digital image and its

properties. Relation to signal processing.

2. Intensity transformations, pointwise corrections. Geometric

transformations.

3. Preprocessing. Linear integral transforms, especially Fourier transform.

4. Noise, properties and reduction, linear and non-linear filtering in

image space. Frequency filtering.

5. Image restoration.

6. Interpolation, similarity criteria.

7. Edge, corner and local structure detection.

8. Mathematical morphology.

9. Image acquisition, transparent and non-transparent objects. Thermal

imaging, hardware.

10. Colour.

11. Image compression.

12. Optical microscopy, fluorescent microscopy, electron microscopy.

13. X-rays, physical principles, sources and detectors.

14. Electroencephalography, magnetoencephalography.
