Biomedical Signal/Image Processing and Bioinformatics

From Variome

The field of biomedical signal/image processing and bioinformatics encompasses techniques for the acquisition, processing, classification, and analysis of digital biomedical information. The program is designed to provide advanced training in processing biomedical signals, images, and related information, classification, and analysis of biomedical data, and decision support of clinical processes. Sample applications include: (1) digital imaging research utilizing modalities ranging from x-ray imaging, MR and CT, to PET and SPECT, to optical microscopy, to combinations such as PET/MR; (2) signal processing research on hearing to voice recognition to wireless sensors; and (3) bioinformatics research ranging from image segmentation for content-based retrieval from databases to correlating clinical findings with genomic markers. Graduates of this program will be able to integrate advanced digital processing and artificial intelligence technologies with health care activities and biomedical research. They will be prepared for careers involving innovation in the fields of signal processing, medical imaging, and medical-related informatics in either industry or academia.
