Teaching in the first semester, review in January
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite :
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Course contents :
There are two parts to this course:

  • The first part relates to the basic principles of digital encoding and the transfer of medical images, formats, DICOM norms, manipulation and archiving of these images (PACS network).
  • The second part deals with the techniques of repositioning medical images.
Learning outcomes of the course :
This course gives an insight into the techniques involved in coding images and the formats used in medical imaging as well as how to manipulate, share, transfer and archive images within the imaging department. The theoretical bases of image repositioning (PET, MRI, CT,...) are also presented.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills :
General physics, concepts of image and signal processing are desirable.
