Master Degrees in Allied Healthcare in Spain

The MAIA (MedicAl Imaging and Applications) master is a 2 years’ joint master degree (120 ECTS) coordinated by the University of Girona (UdG, Spain) and with the University of Bourgogne (uB, France)and the Università degli studi di Cassino e del Lazio Meridionale (UNICLAM, Italy) as partners. Medical Image Analysis and Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems, in close development with novel imaging techniques, have revolutionized healthcare in recent years. Those developments have allowed doctors to achieve a much more accurate diagnosis, at an early stage, of the most important diseases. The technology behind the development of CAD systems stems from various research areas in computer science such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, pattern recognition, computer vision, image processing, and sensors and acquisition. There is a clear lack of MSc studies that cover the previously mentioned areas with a specific application to the analysis of medical images and the development of CAD systems within an integrated medical imaging background. Moreover, the medical technology industry has detected a growing need for expert graduates in this field. -
