Course on Medical Image Processing*
Instructors: C. Drapaca, J. Trzasko, C. Studholme, H. Zhu, Y. Zinchenko
Schedule of the course:
Lectures time:
11:00 am to 1:30 pm, with 30 min for lunch from 12:00 pm to 12:30pm.
All lectures will be held at the Fields Institute.
Description of the course:
Tumors, and in particular cancer, can be difficult to detect, diagnose and treat. Digital imaging techniques, computer aided diagnosis, image-guided surgery and drug treatment can improve the accuracy and efficiency of tumors detection, diagnosis and treatment. Therefore computer assisted techniques have become a valuable component in today's clinical research and practices. This graduate course on image processing and treatment planning is a collection of feature lecture series, focusing on IMRT inverse treatment planning, CT, MR image reconstruction and various means of analyzing and processing images including image co-registration, level sets, and time-frequency analysis, etc.
