Learning outcomes
|
The course offers an overview of modern diagnostic and therapeutic methods such as X-ray diagnostic methods, radionuclide imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, photodynamic therapy, electrodiagnostic methods, ultrasound in medicine and others. Each topic introduces and explains the physical principle of the method and of course its clinical applications. Specially, the emphasis is placed on such methods, which students meet at the clinics of the University Teaching Hospital.
Students will be able to understand the basic physical principles of commonly used diagnostic and therapeutic methods including the data analysis and image processing. They will be able to make right decision and chose adequate instrumental technique to diagnose or treat different kinds of diseases.
