Course content
The course covers theory and practice of processing, analysing and visualising diffusion MRI data. Key concepts and practical considerations of data processing and analysis are explained. Topics include:
- Quality assessment
- Artifact correction
- Diffusion approaches
- Fiber tractography
- Automated analyses
- Visualisation methods
During computer practical sessions students will learn how to work with real diffusion MRI data.
Learning goals
- can identify common MRI artifacts present in diffusion MRI data
- will know the basic processing steps required for diffusion MRI
- is able to discriminate between different diffusion MRI model strategies
- will have basic hands-on knowledge of analysing and visualizing diffusion MRI data
- will understand the limitations and pitfalls in the context of neuroscientific and biomedical applications
Credits
You will be awarded 2.5 EC on passing the exam.
