Prerequisites

This course is open to students with either a biology, computer science, or engineering background. There are no explicit prerequisites for the course; engineering students will be expected to have taken a computer vision course such as ECE 5470 or equivalent. The appropriate background will be discussed at the first class meeting. The course will provide the necessary background on the imaging modalities, the medical issues, and the computer algorithms for image analysis. Having taken either ECE 5470 or the three credit version of BME 6180 would be a very good preparation for this course.

This course is intended to meet the needs of both engineers interested in the life sciences and life scientists that are interested in gaining experience in quantitative image analysis methods. Class participation and project research is important.
