Interventional Imaging and Image Processing

The participants will learn the basics of interventional imaging and image processing. The focus of the lecture will be on interventional x-ray imaging technology. The lecture will cover both topics of 2D as well as 3D imaging. We will particularly focus on recent research topics such as cardiac and perfusion imaging in the interventional suite.

Administrative information Lecturer: Dr. Markus Kowarschik This lecture will be in English

Time & Location Lecture: nearly biweekly, Thursdays 9:15-11:45 including a break from 10:45-11:00 Room MI 03.13.010 First lecture: 25.10.2012 Exam: tba

Content Clinical motivation (interventional radiology, neuroradiology, and cardiology) Interventional imaging modalities Basics of x-ray imaging Angiographic imaging in 2D Angiographic imaging in 3D: CT basics, CT reconstruction Current topics (cardiac imaging, perfusion imaging, metal artifact reduction, etc.)

News Please check your exam appointment here and confirm this by sending a mail to brosig@in.tum.de Please check your tum.de or mytum.de email address for exam details. The oral exam will be scheduled directly after the registration closed. We plan to to this on Feb. 14th,15th and 18th The registration to the oral exam can be done here The lecture time has changed again, such that this lecture fits into the schedule for the Biomedical Computing Masters program. There will be two aditional lectures announced soon! Lecture time has changed!
