Basics of digital signal and image procesing

The integration of multimodal images and 3D reconstruction in medicine are assuming increasing importance not only for diagnostic purposes, but also for the design of prosthetic, therapeutic devices and for assisted surgery.
The goal of the course is to give students some methods for the co-registration of multiple images, for reconstruction from different sources, for three-dimensional segmentation of organs, for modeling and visualization of surfaces and volumes, kinematic and dynamic measurements in sequences of images and for corrections due to the non linearity of the image production instrumentation.
Together with methodological tools, students can gain direct experience of 3D MRI images, from ultrasound, along with the ability to use advanced software tools.

1. Methods and techniques for the construction of images in medicine.
2. Characterization of tissues in MRI using advanced methods
3. fMRI and diffusion techniques
4. Recording and Coregistration - problems and methods
5. Segmentation of bioimages
- 2D methods
- 3D Methods
6. From segmentation to reconstruction of 2D and 3D models
7. Visual rendering
8. Measurements of kinematic and dynamic sequences of images
9. 3D and 4D Ultrasound Echography

The course will consist of introductory methodological lessons of the argument, followed by examples and exercises "hands-on" using available software tools and a work of in-depth group of selected scientific articles.

Recommended reading: slides of the lessons; review articles proposed by the teacher, specific scientific articles.
Book A.P. Dahwan "Medical Image Analysis", Second Edition, Wiley & Sons, 2011
Book "Computer Graphics - Principles and Practice - 3rd Edition" J. Hughes et al., Addison Wesley, 2014

The final exam will consist of a report on a topic assigned by the teacher and developed in groups of 3-4 students and an individual oral on specific themes of the report and on the general topics of the course.
