About this course
Period (from – till ): 10 November 2025 - 30 January 2026 (BMS_P2_A), Part-time. This course can be followed together with Diffusion MRI BMB4709022, the schedules do not overlap.
This course covers topics on deep learning for medical image analysis:
• Machine Learning fundamentals
• Deep Learning
• Convolutional Neural Network
• Network Architectures
• Medical Image Analysis applications
During practical sessions students will improve their understanding of the above topics. Additionally there will be a homework group assignment to be handed in at the end of the course.
Evaluation:
Students will be divided in groups to perform a homework assingment. At the end of the course, students will present their approach to the assingment. The final score is based on the evalution of:
- Approach to the homework. This item includes a peer-reviewcomponent (self evaluation among students in a group)
- Presentation according to the rubrics of the GSLS (a group presentation in which each student is required to present)
- Questions handling (on both the assignment and the material)
Literature/study material used:
Deep Learning with PyTorch by Eli Stevens, Luca Antiga, Thomas Viehmann. ISBN: 9781617295263; Please note that the book is available as an e-book on the website of Utrecht University Library
