Synopsis:
This two-day short course aims to provide a basic understanding of medical imaging and to explain what medical images can offer to medical practitioners and researchers. This is done by introducing some of the basic concepts of image processing and pattern recognition in medical contexts. Two modalities of medical images will be used as case studies, namely, MRI/CT brain images and ophthalmological images. Various medical imaging projects will be described and there will be a session for participants to share and relate to their own problems in medical imaging. The main speaker, Prof. Emanuele Trucco, has many years of experience in medical imaging. In addition, two medical doctors, Dr Tchoyoson Lim and Dr. Pang Boon Chuan will be invited to deliver talks from medical practitioners’ perspectives.
