Class Biomedical Imaging

Transmit a wide range of knowledge, mostly practical within the scope of biomedical imaging, transversal to the areas of engineering, biotechnology, biosciences, health technologies, human and animal medicine. The syllabus contents enable students with the acquisition of techniques and methods of image acquisition and respective Data processing.

1. Introduction to biomedical imaging.

2. Image acquisition principles.

3. Optical microscopy and fluorescence microscopy.

4. Optical imaging.

5. Preclinical imaging.

6. Imaging in Biology and Medicine: RX, US, SPECT, PET, MRI and CT.

7. Imaging and Neurosciences.

8. Artificial Intelligence and Radiomics

9. Databases available for investigation

10. Techniques and methods in the processing and analysis of imaging data

The learning process will be leveraged by dedicated technology for this type of classes (software) and study visits so that the student becomes aware of the various possibilities that exist in this area. The implementation of the PBL methodology and access to dedicated software guarantees learning success.
