Learning outcomes
|
The main objective is to teach the basic knowledge and skills on the atomic and nuclear physics, thermodynamics, gases and liquid kinetics, molecular constitution of living systems, cells biophysics including biopotencial generation and mechanism of cells excitation, heart function and circulation system biophysics. They obtain skills required for work with technical equipments for biomedical measurement and some diagnostics equipments like ECG recorder and ultrasonograph. The students are also introduced to selected software used in information mining and health care.
The students will be skilled in medical biophysics to be prepared for further study of consequent topics like physiology, pathophysiology, radiology, nuclear medicine etc. Their knowledge on informational technologies support them in effective use of software supporting their study.
