- Interacting with common data found in the Medical Physics field (Radiology and Radiation Oncology)
- Processing this data for use in machine learning models
- Creating basic machine learning models for use in Radiology and Radiation Oncology
The overall goal of this course is to provide practical skills, such that the students can contribute to future clinical issues that benefit from the use of data science and machine learning. The majority of the didactic (lecture) material will be provided as uploaded videos that can be watched at the students convenience. The dedicated course time will be used as live lab coding sessions, where the students will work on the course material in a live coding environment. Since the majority of the learning material will be presented online, and the class size is small, students are expected to attend class/lab sessions in person and work together to solve the coding problems. I believe the in person lab sessions will be greatly beneficial to the students, and will help to foster a collaborative learning environment and increase the help I can provide for any computer and coding issues. Students that cannot attend a specific day can the instructor to discuss alternative arrangements.

Instructor : Rafe McBeth, PhD
Office : 4-346W
Discussion Forum : XXX
Time and place : In Spring 2022, the in person section of the course will be in person : All lecture materials will be recorded and uploaded. Students are expected to watch this on their own time before meeting in person. : The first day of class is Thursday, January 12, 2023. : The first day of office hours will be January 15, 2023. : The final day of class is Thursday, May 7, 2023.
- The class meets on Thursdays from 0:45-4:45 pm Eastern.
Guest lectures will be presented by other members of the Penn Medical Physics team as needed to enhance content. (TBD)
Course Description: The fields of data science (DS) and artificial intelligence (AI) are growing rapidly and will impact the future practice of medicine and the field of Medical Physics. This course is designed to enhance the graduate student’s ability to contribute to Medical Physics research and the integration of DS and AI into clinical practice. The course will teach students practical programming techniques (Python), data science infrastructure, data analysis workflows, medical physics specific programming and how to build, analyze and use machine learning (ML) and Deep learning (DL) AI models.
Course Format: Short on demand lectures will be provided for content being covered that week. It is expected that students will watch this material on their own. Meeting times will be dedicated to clarifying the lecture material, answering questions and working through hands on examples.
Required course resources: No textbook required. Course materials will be provided online and will include videos, slides, Jupyter notebooks and a GitHub repository for skeleton code and examples.
