Welcome to the course In Vivo Imaging and Physiological Modelling (BMED360).
( with ad hoc Links to an external site. curriculum* on COVID-19 and "outbreak science" )
This course belongs to the Department of Biomedicine.
The goal of this course is to obtain theoretical and practical knowledge on functional and quantitative in vivo imaging in man and animal using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computer-based image analysis. The focus is on brain imaging (perfusion, diffusion, permeability mapping) and structural and functional connectivity, but also examples from functional kidney imaging and (image-based) systems biology will be presented. A major objective is also to give insight about the importance of mathematical models and computations in analysis and understanding of complex physiological processes, and the need of cross-disciplinary collaborations.

We plan to run BMED 360 ("fully digital") with a slightly modified curriculum, also addressing COVID-19 and "outbreak science" from a computational imaging and modeling perspective. There will be
- lectures on Zoom
- online slides
- computer labs (code and data on GitHub, using issue tracker for student interaction)
- assignments/challenges
- digital MCQ
- a final digital oral exam from home (presenting your personal project on Zoom - taking load from MittUiB, being mostly used for static information).
