Educational objectives Learning outcomes:

The course provides knowledge of the major concepts of image processing with particular reference to the medical ones.

The main knowledge (descriptor Dublin 1) will be acquired:

• knowledge of the reconstruction of signals and images by sampling;
• Knowledge of the main concepts and analysis techniques and image processing;
• knowledge of the main problems of medical diagnostics and application of algorithms for the improvement of image;

The main skills acquired (ability to apply the knowledge gained descriptor Dublin 2, and to take with independent judgment the appropriate approach, the Dublin descriptor 3) will be:
• analytical skills and image processing whose purpose is to medical diagnosis;
• ability to develop a line of reasoning that leads the student to identify the methods of solving the problem in question;
• ability to identify the right approach to the solution of the problem with an eye toward the medical diagnostics.
Prerequisites Knowledge of reconstruction of signals and images by sampling;
Knowledge of the main concepts and analysis techniques and image processing;
Knowledge of the main problems of medical diagnostics and of the application of algorithms for the improvement of image.
Teaching methods The course is organized as follows:

1) Lectures on all topics of the course;

2) Classroom exercises.

3) laboratory: No. 6 guided visits to four hours each at the Hospital Santa Maria della Misericordia, Perugia (sections: radiology, vascular surgery and ophthalmology).
Other information Attendance is strongly recommended for all lessons.
Learning verification modality Oral exam.

The verification of the educational objectives of teaching (examination) include an oral exam. The oral exam will be held on the dates set out in the examinations of the CdS calendar.

The oral examination, consists of a discussion of the duration not exceeding 40 minutes each aimed at verifying: i) the level of knowledge of the theoretical and laboratory course content (Dublin descriptor 1), ii) the level of expertise in exposing the logical and mathematical reasoning skills (descriptor Dublin 2), iii) the independence of judgment (Dublin descriptor 3) to propose the most appropriate approach to argue what is required. The oral examination also aims to verify the student's ability to present with properties of language questions proposed by the Commission, to support a dialectical relationship during discussion and dimostrate logical-deductive ability and synthetic exposition (descriptor Dublin 4).

The final mark will be made by the Commission in thirty.
