PROCESSING TECHNIQUES
Course Objectives
 To introduce the underlying principles of biomedical imaging modalities such as US, X-
ray, CT, SPECT, PET and MRI
 To provide an overview of the image processing techniques used in these images
Syllabus
Imaging Techniques – X-ray - CT, Nuclear medicine imaging modalities - SPECT and PET,
Ultrasound Imaging - Doppler ultrasound, Magnetic resonance imaging –T1, T2 and Proton
density weighted, Thermography and Microwave imaging, Image sampling and quantization,
Image enhancement-spatial and frequency domain methods, Image segmentation-edge based and
region based.

Expected Outcome
The students will be able to
i. Identify major processes involved in formation of medical images
ii. Recognize the imaging modality from their visualizations
iii. Classify the various medical image processing algorithms
iv. Describe fundamental methods for image enhancement and segmentation
