Obiettivi Formativi


**Knowledge and understanding**: Students will learn the basis aspects of NMR, MRI, CT, PET/SPECT together with the techniques used for the image reconstruction and analysis. **Applying Knowledge and Understanding**: In the theoretical part, student should acquire a suitable knowledge to be able to describe image formation in the most common imaging modalities and how they are analyzed. In the practical part, the students will get hands-on knowledge about how image are displayed, generated, denoised and analyzed. **Making Judgements**: Students will critically assess the challenges inherent in medical image analysis, such as ambiguous observables, limited datasets, and making robust judgements of AI-algorithm performances. **Communication**: Studens in this area will learn to appropriately interact with researchers, medical physicists, physicians, engineers, biologists and so on, that perform Imaging experiments and medical exams. **Learning Skills**: By engaging with both theoretical content and practical exercises, students will develop the skills necessary for independent learning and research in the interdisciplinary field of AI and medical imaging. The last part will be dedicated to introduce the techniques used for automated medical image analysis including radiomics and AI methods

Prerequisiti


Basics of mechanics, electromagnetism and quantum physics. Basics of computing techniques and machine learning

Metodi didattici


The course is delivered through theoretical lectures and interactive sessions. The videorecorded lectures are made available to students on a Drive folder, indicated on the KIRO multimedia platform. Interactive laboratory experiences will be performed using jupyter laboratory notebooks to be programmed in python on datasets provided.

Verifica Apprendimento


Oral exam. The students should concentrate on the comprehension of the physical aspects involved in the introduced topics, and their practical applications.

Contenuti


Description of the magnetic resonance phenomenon, Bloch equations, NMR spectrum and different signals (FID, echo, GE, etc). Magnetic Resonance Imaging: one-dimensional imaging, the k-space, the gradient-echo, 2D and 3D imaging and sequences. In brief : the BOLD technique, functional MRI, and contrast agents. Image formation in CT, PET/SPECT, X-ray. Model Different techniques for image reconstruction: the continuous and discrete Fourier transform, sampling and aliasing, projection and backprojection image reconstruction, Radon transform and M-filtering. Model based image reconstruction: from pure maximum likelihood to AI-based methods. Image denoising as ML model-based reconstruction. Basics of automated image analysis, including with AI methods.
