CSE 594 - Medical Imaging

     This course presents an introduction to the mathematical, physical, and computational principles underlying modern medical imaging systems. It will cover fundamentals of X-ray radiography, X-ray computed tomography (CT), ultrasonic imaging, nuclear imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and functional MRI (fMRI), as well as more general concepts required for these, such as linear systems theory and the Fourier Transform. Popular techniques for the visualization, segmentation, and analysis of medical image data will also be discussed, as well as applications of medical imaging, such as image-guided intervention. The course material is well suited for students in computer science, biomedical engineering, and electrical engineering.

ABET course objectives:
   Prepare students for employment in the field of medical imaging.
   Prepare students for graduate study in this or related fields.
   Augment the knowledge of students working in related fields.
