Course DescriptionMedical Images can be processed using analytical and numerical mathematics methods. After processing of medical images, the quality of the images can be improved and the features can be extracted. In this way medical image processing can produce data which assist the specialist about diagnosis and treatment follow up. In this course digitalization, analysis and processing and of medical images are introduced. The contents of the course are digitalization and producing of medical images, filtering in spatial and frequency domain, morphological image processing techniques, image segmentation and feature extraction and event detection from images.
