• to enable interpretation & analysis of relevant medical image analysis data
• to relate medical image analysis research to clinical applications.

Learning outcomes for students who complete the full Certificate (Cert) programme:

• demonstrate subject specific knowledge & understanding in theoretical & practical aspects of medical image analysis and processing.
• develop specialised skills and a critical understanding of advanced principles of image analysis and processing, using the MATLAB platform
• gain critical insight into challenges underpinning image analysis, including image enhancement and compensating for artefacts
• develop specialised skills to interpret medical images critically & to communicate the findings to a range of audiences
• appraise various machine learning architectures & algorithms used in image segmentation, clustering and classification.

About online learning
Access world class teaching at the University of Edinburgh while maintaining your local professional and personal commitments where you live.

Our online students not only have access to Edinburgh’s excellent resources, but also become part of a supportive online community, bringing together students and tutors from around the world.

Students will be required to have access to the internet, to allow them access to materials, discussion boards, references, activities and other online learning tools.

Don’t worry if you think you might need support, as the Edinburgh Imaging Academy’s eLearning team is available through the week to offer advice, and the University of Edinburgh’s IS department provides online learning support in the evening and at weekends.
