About this course
The basic techniques considered in the introductory course on medical imaging (5XSA0) form the background for the advanced analysis approaches. This course provides knowledge and understanding of state-of-the-art algorithms applied in imaging for healthcare. We will consider image restoration, segmentation, classification and validation approaches. Use cases where research questions are answered by clinical data analysis will be presented and discussed.
