Advanced Biomedical Signal and Image Processing

The Advanced Biomedical Signal and Image Processing module, a key component of your Master’s degree program at the UMI Science Faculty, Meknes. This course aims to equip you with the essential knowledge and skills required to navigate the rapidly evolving fields of biomedical signal and image processing. As technology continues to advance, analyzing and interpreting complex biomedical data becomes increasingly critical for healthcare professionals and researchers alike. The module is structured into three sections:

Section 1: Introduction to Digital Signal and Image Processing in which, we investigate the fundamental concepts of digital signal and image processing. You will learn about various types of signals, particularly biomedical signals, and explore techniques such as Fourier analysis, which is vital for understanding frequency components in signals. We will also cover image filtering, enhancement, and restoration, equipping you with tools to improve image quality. Additionally, you will gain insights into use detection, segmentation methods, wavelet transforms, and other advanced processing techniques, including clustering and classification, which are essential for effective data analysis.

Section 2: Processing of Biomedical Signals in which we aim on the specific processing techniques used for various biomedical signals. You will explore the electrical activities of cells and how these signals appear in various biomedical contexts, including electrocardiograms (ECGs), electroencephalograms (EEGs), and electromyograms (EMGs).Understanding these signals is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring various health conditions. During this section, you will learn with practical knowledge and analytical skills.

Section 3: Processing of Biomedical Images, this final part of the module addresses the principles and techniques involved in biomedical imaging. You will explore various imaging modalities, including computed tomography (CT), X-ray imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound imaging, and Nuclear medicine. Each technique offers unique insights into biological processes and anatomical structures, and mastering these methods will enhance your ability to interpret and utilize imaging data effectively.

Through this module, you will develop a robust foundation in both theoretical and practical aspects of biomedical signal and image processing. By the end of the course, you will be well prepared to apply these skills in research or clinical settings, contributing to advancements in medical technology and patient care.
