Biomedical Image Sciences
Biomedical Image Sciences, an interdisciplinary programme at the intersection of exact and biomedical sciences, focuses on biomedical imaging, image processing and medical physics.
The Master’s programme on Biomedical Image Sciences focuses on biomedical imaging, image processing and medical physics in the broadest sense. This includes image acquisition (how to obtain the best possible image of an organ or tissue of a patient), image analysis (how to extract from the image the information necessary to make a diagnosis or to plan a therapy), and visualisation (how to optimally present the image material or the analyses to the medical specialist).
"The primary characteristic of Biomedical Image Sciences is that it is a truly interdisciplinary field at the interface of exact science and technology on the one hand, and biomedical sciences on the other."
Max Viergever, who is Professor of Medical Imaging at Utrecht University and the University Medical Center Utrecht. He is the programme director of the Master's programme on Biomedical Image Sciences.
