Medical Image Processing

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  The CU includes the treatment, processing and reconstruction of medical images in the context of radiological, metabolic and hybrid imaging. It is intended to give students tools for understanding the process of reconstruction and processing of medical images in Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, accompanied by practical classes where this process is put into practice.
• ProgramaProgramme

  Radiologic Imaging Formation of the radiological image: definition of the image as a signal Signal and image processing: image presentation techniques Image reconstruction Metabolic Imaging (Nuclear Medicine) Principles of metabolic imaging: pharmacokinetic component and signal statistics Signal and image processing: planar image presentation techniques (2D) Image Reconstruction Tomographic image reconstruction techniques (3D), filters, segmentation and alignment of tomographic slices Quantitative metrics: manual and automatic/semi-automatic quantification Image Fusion (Hybrid Imaging) Image fusion general principles Hybrid vs. images coming from different equipment Technical aspects of image fusion Clinical utility Main clinical uses
• ObjectivosObjectives

  Realize the general concepts of image formation. Understand the application of the general concepts of image formation in the reading and visualization of radiographic, metabolic and image fusion images. Understand the physical principles of image construction and their diagnostic relationship. Understand and know how to evaluate the entire process of building radiographic and nuclear medicine images and the fundamental tools for their acquisition. Stimulate the discussion and criticism of radiographic images and nuclear medicine. Demonstrate knowledge of the technology involved in image acquisition and relate it to radiographic and nuclear medicine imaging. Know advanced signal and image processing tools for both clinical and research areas in Medical Imaging and Radiotherapy.

• MetodologiaMethodology

  Expository, demonstrative, participatory and problem solving. The curricular unit can be completed through continuous assessment or final assessment. The final classification (CF) of the curricular unit through continuous assessment is obtained from the classifications obtained in the Theoretical component (T) and the Practical component (PL). The T component consists of two written frequencies. The minimum classification for each frequency is 8 values. The practical component consists of 2 practical assessment moments carried out during laboratory classes, which must be equal to or greater than 8 points. The final classification is calculated using the following formula: CF = 0.50 T + 0.50 PL. The classification of all assessment instruments is expressed on a scale of 0 to 20 values, with the weighted value of the classifications obtained having to be equal to or greater than 9.5 values. ¿
