- 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).
