This course is an introduction to the current methods and applications of biomedical imaging. We focus on major imaging techniques, including Magnetic Resonance, Ultra Sound and Computed Tomography. For each technique, we will study the image acquisition (how images are created), the corresponding image processing (how images are analyzed), and their usage in major biomedical applications (what the image analysis says about cancer, brain, heart, or cells).

CILO-1: Apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering appropriate to the degree discipline. CILO-2: Design a system, component or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints, such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability and sustainability. CILO-3: Identify, formulate and solve engineering problems. CILO-4: Design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyse and interpret data. CILO-5: Understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context, especially the importance of health, safety and environmental considerations to both workers and the general public. CILO-6: Use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice appropriate to the degree discipline. CILO-7: Use the computer/IT tools relevant to the discipline along with an understanding of their processes and limitations.
