Learning activities and teaching methods
Monological explanation (lecture, presentation,briefing), Demonstration
  • Class attendance - 16 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The subject consists of two parts: biophysics and radiology. The first part introduces bases of biophysics, its use in the area of medical diagnostic and treatment methods. The second part introduces the bases of radiology, examination by roentgen radiation, and individual radiology branches - radio diagnostics, radiotherapy and nuclear medicine
Students obtain knowledge in given course in accordance with requirements and course programme.
Prerequisites
Preconditions are frased in the annotation of the course and in the curriculum of the studying programme.
