A basic introduction to Image Generation methods

Generative Adversarial Network (GANs) The idea of Generative Adversarial Network (GANs) is to make two Neural Networks compete with each other. One will generate images similar to the training data. The other will classify which is generated and training images. Hence, creating a rea...

Introduction to medical image analysis

Different types of medical images are produced by varying the types of energies used to acquire the image. These different modes are called radiology modalities. Different modalities present different aspects (time of exposition, scanning methods, use of radioactive isotopes). As an example, we...
