Learning outcomes
|
Medical biophysics is a discipline that studies the physiological and pathological manifestations of the organism through physical laws and explains the basic principles of medical diagnostics and therapy. By its scope, the course is conceived as the introductory course into the field. The course focuses on clarification of basic mechanisms of various physical factors on human health to the students of physiotherapy.
Students will be able to understand the basic biophysical processes of the human body and will be able to work with basic medical devices.
