Medical Image Processing Question Paper

This document outlines a medical image processing exam that will last 3 hours and consists of 15 questions worth a total of 100 marks. The exam is divided into two parts: Part A contains 10 multiple choice questions worth 2 marks each, and Part B contains 5 essay questions from which students must choose 1. The essay questions explore topics like quality assurance tests for X-rays, computerized tomography, producing radioisotopic and NMR images, medical image processing applications and hardware, and the discrete Fourier transform. The document also provides an overview of a course on medical image processing that covers topics such as image formation principles, storage and processing, visualization, segmentation and classification, and nuclear imaging modalities.
