Objectives

Computer aided diagnosis can be defined as the the diagnosis made by the radiologist supported by a computer based medical image analysis that acts as a second opinion system. The course aims at giving the students the knowledge and ability to develop image enhancement, image analysis and classification systems useful in CAD environments.
