Course objectives
Biofysics forms theoretical base for almost all modern therapeutical and diagnostical medical devices. The main learning objectives of these practical sessions are: a development of the measurement and instrument use skills of students, the development of a scientific, effective, safe and efficient attitude to the use of biomedical devices, a healthcare practice oriented understanding of the biophysics principles directly related to the management of patients (which are the basis of many medical imaging and physiological monitoring techniques).
Learning outcomes
After finishing this course the student will - understand the most important biophysical principles and laws; master the measurement by means of the basic biophysical instruments as well as the statical evaluation of this measurement; evaluate the results obtained by the basic biophysical methods.
