MIS303 Applied Imaging (8)
CSU Discipline Area: Medical Radiation Science (MEDRA)
Duration: One session
Abstract:
This subject introduces and covers the fundamentals, concepts and applications of digital imaging processing, analysis and image review in the Medical Imaging field. It also introduces and reviews the influences made by the human observer in such systems.

Where differences exist between the handbook and the SAL, the SAL should be taken as containing the correct subject offering details.
Objectives:
Upon successful completion of this subject, students should:
Understand the basic relationship between the image form and the perceptual and physiological characteristics of the human observer.
Have a working understanding of the architecture and components of a digital computer and the logical nature and function of software.
Understand and explain image digitisation and image digitisation methods.
Explain and manipulate important concepts relating to digital image quality in relation to image processing equipment.
Understand and manipulate the basic principles underpinning the various forms of digital image processing available in Medical Imaging.
Understand the processes of image (and information), storage, transmission, and retrieval systems.
Have practical experience with a PC based image processing system and a software that is able to simulate various image processing techniques found in Medical Imaging systems.
