Learning activities and teaching methods
Lecture, Students' self-study
Learning outcomes
The course acquaints students with basic principles of medical devices used in diagnostics and therapy. Individual principles of application of different physical fields are explained. Emphasis is placed on the different nature of the design of mechanical and ultrasonic waves, non-ionizing electromagnetic fields and instruments. with ionizing radiation. The main goal is to teach the student basic principles of devices used in radiology. It's coming out consists of knowledge of physics and block diagrams of technical devices. Students acquire knowledge and skills in the use of instrumentation in radiology with an emphasis on basic physical principles, technical implementation, parameters and specifics of use in clinical practice.
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.
