  • The project topics to be worked on are chosen from the field of medical image processing using clinical image data
Qualification-goals/Competencies:
  • Students are able to classify basic medical image processing methods, are able to characterize them and to apply them to concrete problems.
  • They are able to select appropriate, problem-specific methods for image filtering, image segmentation, and morphological post-processing of segmentation results, to combine them in a processing pipeline and to use them for image enhancement or image segmentation of medical structures.
  • They are able to distinguish between different methods of cluster analysis and statistical pattern recognition and can characterize them based on different implicitly used model assumptions and properties.
  • They are able to evaluate segmentation results of different methods based on established quality measures and to carry out an objective comparison of the quality of different segmentation methods in practical use.
  • They are able to distinguish between different image interpolation methods, to classify them according to their specific advantages and disadvantages and to select an appropriate method and apply it, depending on a specific problem.
  • They are able to assess the characteristics of different rigid image registration methods. For a specific registration problem they are able to select problem specific similarity measures and regularization terms and to parameterize them.
  • They are able to distinguish and to characterize different techniques for analyzing functional 4D fMRI image sequences, with whom neurally activated brain areas in 4D image sequences of the head can be made visible.
  • They are able to implement basic image processing algorithms and to bring them to use in combination with medical image processing modules available from program libraries.
  • They have the ability to develop problem-specfic medical image analysis systems by using various software tools.
  • In this context, they are able to analyze complex tasks, to break them down into sub-tasks and to implement them in teams.
  • They have the ability to estimate the project effort, to plan the project schedule and to use resources appropriately.
  • They can document the developed solutions and present the results.
