Overview
What you will study
The course Medical Image Visualization offered by KTH Royal Institute of Technology consists of lectures, laboratories and mathematical exercises. The participants will combine VTK (the Visualization Toolkit) in Python with other libraries. The course also includes introductory labs for students with programming experience but without experience in Python.
Medical image visualization is a specific area of scientific visualization that is focused on medical applications. Visualization in a medical context is used for different purposes, including diagnosis with radiological data, treatment planning, intraoperative support, data annotation and educational purposes among others.
After completion, the participant will be able to:
Understand the different parts of a visualization pipeline
Understand the theory of the most used methods for surface and volume rendering
Summarize the most used techniques in volume interaction and stereo rendering
Design visualization solutions for medical applications
Select and adapt the most appropriate methods for image visualization in medical applications
