Prerequisites
Basic concepts of high school physics
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is offered to students of any study field.
Course objectives
At the end of the course students should be able to understand and explain some biophysical principles of imaging methods (ultrasound, infrared thermography, MRI, CT, ECG) and principles of electron miscroscopy. At the end of this course, the student will also have to demonstrate basic skills of microscopy, spectrophotometry, refractometry and also habits in data handling and processing of health-related data
