In recent years, the automated analysis of medical images like computed tomography (CT), ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been revolutionized by deep learning. This umbrella term covers a wide range of machine learning methods that optimize
artificial neural networks to perform tasks such as image reconstruction, segmentation, or registration. It is expected that deep learning will significantly impact image-driven medical specialties like radiology, radiotherapy, pathology, and dermatology. The advent of deep learning builds on decades of research in mathematical medical image analysis, combined with strong influences from computer vision and machine learning. However, genuinely successful deep learning in medical image analysis also requires domain knowledge about the clinical problem visualized, the physics underlying image formation, and the mathematics governing image reconstruction.
This course equips students with an understanding of the relationship between key concepts in this rapidly developing field and practical skills to address commonly occurring medical image analysis problems. Main topics include:
- The medical imaging pipeline and common image analysis problems
- Convolutional neural networks on images and manifolds
- Deep learning for image reconstruction, segmentation, and registration
- Mathematical image analysis and its relation to deep learning
- Quantitative evaluation of medical image analysis problems
- Interpretability, explainability, and uncertainty estimation in deep learning models
- Unsupervised, semi-supervised learning, and active learning on real-world data
- Approaches to working with multi-modal imaging and clinical data
