Course plan for 2023


The course plan is divided into 4 topics for the 4 major areas of medical imaging. For each are given lectures, the associated reading material, exercises and demonstrations along with the teacher responsible for the activity.

Slides for the lecture will be updated during the course. The correct version will usually be put on the web right before the lecture. The plan is tentative and might change during the course.
