Course objectives
In this course we deal with using of information systems, communication and visualization technologies, virtual reality and other areas of informatics in medicine. During the subject, students visit an excursion in hospital for practical show of used technologies.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student will have knowledge of information systems in medicine, which are acquisition systems (ECG, EEG, CT, MR modalities). What are the communication and data standards for IS: (message communication), archive formats. What is the DICOM standard. Also how biosignals are processed in medicine (ECG, EEG), image information of CT, MR, US. What are hospital IS, radiology IS, archiving and communication system, laboratory IS. Use of telematics, security policy and protection of health data and legal issues in the environment. Get to know examples of knowledge systems in practice.
Syllabus
  • 1. Role of IS in medicine - definition, history, goals, hardware and software.
