The Medical Imaging programme is a technology-oriented research master designed to prepare you for a career in the rapidly advancing and multidisciplinary field of medical imaging. You will gain expertise in key topics such as image acquisition physics, quantitative image analysis, artificial intelligence, computer-aided diagnosis, and image-guided interventions — all essential skills for innovation in modern healthcare and medical sciences.
Year 1
Begin your journey with the Life Sciences Academy (1.5 EC). This year is designed to provide you with the multidisciplinary knowledge necessary to excel in the medical imaging field and prepares you for advanced research. You will start your studies with compulsory courses (25 EC) and are able to select from the elective courses (15 EC).
Compulsory components
Compulsory courses (20 EC)
- Medical Image Formation
- Image Processing
- Programming for Medical Imaging
- Team Challenge (this course will be a collaboration with students from Eindhoven University of Technology)
Elective courses (choose ≥5 EC to supplement compulsory part till 25 EC)
- Advanced MR Physics 1
- Advanced MR Physics 2
- AI for Medical Imaging
