| THE COURSE PROVIDES THEORETICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE MAIN TYPES OF MEDICAL IMAGES AND ON THE METHODOLOGIES FOR PROCESSING SUCH IMAGES, IMPROVING THEIR QUALITY AND EXTRACTING INFORMATION RELEVANT FOR THEIR DIAGNOSIS. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING PHASES OF AN IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, WITH PARTICULAR FOCUS ON THE PHASES OF LOW LEVEL PROCESSING (ACQUISITION, FILTERING), INTERMEDIATE LEVEL PROCESSING (EXTRACTION OF REGIONS AND CONTOURS) AND HIGH LEVEL PROCESSING (SHAPE RECOGNITION), TOGETHER WITH THE BASIC TECHNIQUES FOR IMPLEMENTING THESE FUNCTIONS WITH EXISTING LIBRARIES AND FRAMEWORKS; CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TYPES OF IMAGES USED IN THE MEDICAL FIELD (RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGES, CT, PET, MRI AND ULTRASOUND IMAGES) AND THEIR REPRESENTATION; MAIN FRAMEWORKS FOR IMAGE ANALYSIS. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING DESIGNING AND IMPLEMENTING APPLICATIONS BASED ON THE ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF MEDICAL IMAGES, USING DEDICATED FRAMEWORKS AND LIBRARIES. |

| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| TEACHING ACTIVITIES INCLUDE THEORETICAL LESSONS AND EXERCISES. STUDENTS WILL BE ASSIGNED BOTH INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP PROJECTS, IN WHICH THEY WILL USE METHODOLOGIES AND DEVELOPMENT TOOLS PRESENTED IN THE COURSE. IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THE FINAL PROFIT VERIFICATION AND ACHIEVE THE CFU RELATED TO THE TRAINING ACTIVITY, THE STUDENT MUST HAVE ATTENDED AT LEAST 70% OF THE HOURS PROVIDED FOR ASSISTED EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| THE EXAM IS AIMED AT EVALUATING IF THE STUDENT MASTERS THE TOPICS PRESENTED IN THE COURSE AND IF SHE/HE IS ABLE TO APPLY THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE TO THE RESOLUTION OF REAL PROBLEMS. THE EXAM COULD REQUIRE THE REALIZATION OF A PROJECT WHOSE CONTENT IS PREVIOUSLY AGREED WITH THE TEACHER AND IS RELATED TO ONE OF THE TOPICS PRESENTED IN THE COURSE: THE DESIGN AND METHODOLOGICAL CHOICES MADE ARE CONSIDERED FOR THE ASSESSMENT. |
