Biomedical Image Processing: A Cross-Discipline Course for Undergraduate Computer Science and Technology Major

Biomedical image processing is a relatively new but rapidly growing interdisciplinary area in both computer science and biology fields. This paper provides a systematic view and design method of the biomedical image processing course for undergraduate computer science major. The cross-discipline pedagogies that provide the guiding principles for course system design are presented, along with specific issues related to class room teaching and student practice. The paper also presents four improvements for the future course development.
