Course content
In the area of medical imaging, it is necessary to create computer
programmes to process and analyse image data. This course deals with
both
the theoretical knowledge and practical skills of working with (large)
image datasets.
Participants will learn how to write source code and create a computer
programme to process medical images efficiently. This includes
debugging and problem solving.
The 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.
Upon completion of the course the participant:
- is able teo create a computer programme using C++ and ITK
- can debug source code and fix issues
- understands how source code affects computer execution and memory
- has knowledge on algorithms and data structures for medical image processing
Credit
You will be awarded 3 EC for attendance and completing the assignments; a further 2 EC can be earned on passing the final exam.
