- Course objectives
- The subject aims at familiarizing the students with selected chapters in biophysics and its application in diagnostic and therapeutic medical methods. The subject describes biophysical principles used in medical and nursing practice. The subject covers the area of thermodynamics, cellular biophysics, organ and sensory biophysics, as well as ionizing radiation and protection. On completion of the course, the student will be orientated in the relationship between measured biosignals (ECG) or vital signs (pressure, temperature) and underlying biophysical mechanisms of the human body.
