Course objectives
The course aims to provide students with basics of selected parts of biophysics and its use in the field of medical diagnostic and treatment methods. The course describes biophysical principles which are used in medical and nursing practice. Besides thermodynamics, cell biophysics, organ and sensory biophysics, the course deals with ionization and protection against its effects. After finishing the course the student will be well informed about the connection between measured biosignals (EKG) or physiological functions (blood pressure, temperature) and biophysical mechanisms which determine them in an organism.
