Imaging Techniques in Bio-Medical Research
A.Y. 2018/2019
Learning objectives
L'analisi per immagini rappresenta un campo emergente delle scienze biomediche e ciò è dimostrato dal numero crescente di corsi disponibili presso prestigiose università nel mondo, dall'offerta di opportunità di impiego e dal sempre maggior ricorrere di queste tecnologie nelle pubblicazioni scientifiche del settore biotecnologico e biomedico. Con la frequenza del corso, lo studente impara che è possibile estendere il suo orizzonte di approccio biotecnologico mediante la raccolta di dati biologici di primaria importanza, ottenuti e rielaborati mediante l'applicazione di principi fisici e matematici di elevata precisione e riproducibilità. I dati sono poi rielaborati e processati per poter essere interpretati opportunamente.
