Synopsis:

The aim of the course is to provide students with theoretical principles, techniques, and applications related to the processing and analysis of biological signals and medical images. During the course, students will work on examples of processing various biosignals in the MATLAB environment. After completing the course, students should be able to design and implement solutions to complex tasks for biosignals and biomedical images, interpret results, and apply their knowledge to real-world medical challenges.

Requirements:
Syllabus of lectures:

1. Introduction to biosignals, conversion of analog signals to digital.

2. Analysis of 1-D biosignals in the time domain, discrete 1-D convolution and convolution properties, correlation and autocorrelation of signals.

3. Analysis of 1-D biosignals in the frequency domain, Discrete Fourier Transform.

4. Discrete Cosine Transform and Wavelet Transform and their applications.

5. Filtering of 1-D biosignals.

6. Practical examples of processing ECG (electrocardiogram), EEG (electroencephalogram), and acoustic biosignals.

7. Processing 1-D biosignals using deep neural networks.

8. Introduction to processing medical imaging data in radiology: X-ray, MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), CT (computed tomography), and ultrasound.

9. Spectral analysis of 2-D and 3-D images and noise analysis in biological imaging data.

10. Processing of medical imaging data, image registration, segmentation, and classification techniques.

11. Deep neural networks in medical image processing.

12. Digital pathology and future trends in the processing of biosignals and medical imaging data.
