Organisation and examination

Teaching in the first semester, review in January

Units courses prerequisite and corequisite

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Learning unit 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 learning unit

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.
