Course objectives
The course makes students acquainted with selected medical diagnostic systems at the clinical and technological level, and with the way of their data outputs processing. The aim is to demonstrate the role of technology and data processing in current diagnostic methods. The course includes field trips to a selected hospital wards.
Syllabus
  • 1. Introduction to biological systems and signals. Characteristics, information transfer and control, biological signals and their classification, the basic division of biosignals.
    2. Systems for diagnostics with 1D output. Measurement of blood pressure - biophysics and biomechanics of blood circulation, measurement of blood pressure. Bioelectric phenomena in the body - nature, selected diagnostics (EKG, EEG, EMG, cutometry), analysis and signal processing of ECG and EEG output.
    3. Systems for diagnostics with image (2D) output. Ultrasonography, X-ray, CT, MRI, PET, SPECT, LDPI - principles and methods of diagnosis, typical image outputs, data processing.

Teacher's information
Credit: elaboration of semester project on a given topic of at least 4 and a maximum of 20 pages of text. Topics will be assigned during the semester list of selected topics suggested by teachers is available on the website (see section contents). Students can design their own theme and have them approve the teacher. We welcome topics the processing of which actively contributes to the student's skills and acquired knowledge. Examination: oral only, consisting of one of the clinical questions and one question on the monitoring. In case of an extremely successful semestral project it can be (after successful discussion with the student) recognized as equivalent to passing the exam and graded A.
The course is also listed under the following terms Winter 2014, Winter 2016, Winter 2017.
