Course description:
This course, which runs over three periods of the academic year, will pose a challenging medical imaging problem that will be addressed by mixed teams composed of students from Utrecht and Eindhoven. Over the course period, the teams will first write a research proposal, containing a brief literature study and subsequently work on a strategy for solving the problem at hand, using their knowledge in image acquisition, physics and image analysis. At the end of the course, all teams will present their work.
