Research project

E-learning has developed to an important tool in adult education. The requirements of more different learners' types can be met, and the modern lifestyle of students demands a flexible and accessible way of presenting educational material.
Online courses are built for this purpose. While the vhb already provides courses in a lot of subjects, the field of medical imaging is not yet present. The aim of this project is to develop a complete international online course teaching fundamental methods required to start research in medical image processing. In three main chapters about preprocessing, medical image reconstruction and rigid registration methods in 2D and 3D, the student will learn theoretic backgrounds, train mathematical concepts, and implement important algorithms. Thereby, the course contents are always motivated by diagnostic applications in use.
Among other things, the course features lecture videos and online testing of exercise submissions. In the final stage, this course will be added to the vhb portfolio as an ECTS credited course.
