Units courses prerequisite and corequisite

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Learning unit contents

Partim A: 2D & 3D Tomographic Reconstruction (See details of the teaching unit)

Partim B: Transfer and Co-registration of Medical Images (See details of the teaching unit)

Part A: 2D and 3D tomographical reconstruction

Avanced course on tomography reconstruction.

Part B: Transfer and coregistration of medical images

Introduction to the principles of encoding, transfer, manipulation, and archiving of medical images, with a focus on image co-registration for spatial alignment, normalization, and fusion. Theoretical foundations, evaluation methods, and statistical concepts are illustrated through practical examples.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

Partim A: Understand 2D & 3D (analytical and iterative) algorithms.

Partim B: Understand medical image transfer and co-registration methods

Part A: 2D and 3D tomographical reconstruction

See french version

Part B: Transfer and coregistration of medical images

By the end of the course, students will be able to:

  • Understand the principles of encoding, transfer, and management of medical images.
  • Select and apply the appropriate co-registration method for spatial alignment, normalization, and image fusion, based on the modality and available data.
  • Interpret results using relevant evaluation methods and statistical tools.

Part A: 2D and 3D tomographical reconstruction

Platform(s) used for course materials:
- MyULiège


Further information:

This course is part of the following book (in french) "Reconstruction tomograhique: première approche" par A. SERET et M. DEFRISE (2014) published by Presses Universitaires de Liège.

Part B: Transfer and coregistration of medical images

Copies of presentations (ppt and pdf) can be provided.

Assessment methods and criteria

Exam(s) in session

Any session

- In-person

written exam ( open-ended questions ) AND oral exam

Written work / report


Further information:

The final grade for the learning unit is the arithmetic average of the grades for partim A and partim B, with each grade being awarded according to the methods and criteria described in their respective teaching commitments. If the grade for one of the two partims is lower than 8/20, it automatically becomes the final grade for the entire unit (absorption grade principle).

Part A: 2D and 3D tomographical reconstruction
