Course plan for 2022
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.
