Medical Imaging II

The fundamentals of computational medical image analysis will be explored, leading to current research in applying geometry and statistics to segmentation, registration, visualization, and image understanding. Student will develop practical experience through projects using the National Library of Medicine Insight Toolkit (ITK), a new software library developed by a consortium of institutions including CMU. In addition to image analysis, the course will describe the major medical imaging modalities and include interactions with practicing radiologists at UPMC.
