Medical imaging has evolved in the last few decades integrating new tools for the automatic diagnosis and clinical-decision support. Computer Vision and Deep learning tools are used in several image modalities (MR, CT, US, Dermatology) in order to provide diagnosis results comparable with clinical experts. This course will focus on specific methods for medical image analysis, pathology detection, data augmentation, image collection and preparation as well as how to generate and communicate meaningful insight from analytics.

Teaching methodology

T – Each week it will be a 1h theoretical topic exposition class.
P – Each week it will be a 1h practical session.
The rest of the course are devoted to autonomous lectures, programming, and studying.

Evaluation methodology

The course will follow a continuous evaluation consisting in practical reports (PR) and in-class presentations (PS). A test (or multiple mini-tests) about the theory will be performed (TS). The final score (FS) will be computed as follows:
FS = 0.4 * PR + 0.3 * PS + 0.3 * TS
A minimum score of 3 over 10 points is required for each part PR, PS, and TS in order to compute the final score FS.
