Lectures

Goal

Introducing to standard measuring and diagnostically medical methods and implementation of electron devices in medicine. The focus is on the principles and operation methods of the biomedical equipment with brief description of device construction. The subject educates engineers to improve still existing and develop new biomedical equipment.

Outcome

By attending the course, students will be educated to understand and analyze problems concerned with operation and usage of biomedical instrumentation and equipment. This course educate students to connect basic principals of electronics, physics and medicine and to practically implement them into modern medical equipment.

Theoretical teaching

Principles of medical measurements and instrumentation. Sensors for biomedical measurements. Electric and magnetic stimulators. Ultrasound in medicine - overview of the diagnostically methods: tomography, cardiosonography, measurement of blood flow (Doppler). Methods based on medical imaging - Rontgen, computer tomography, Anger camera, nuclear magnet resonasy, positron emitting tomography, thermograph. Medical image processing. Medical image generation: digital and digitalized image. Basic methods for image processing.

Practical teaching

Principles of medical measurements and instrumentation. Overview of the sensors and their characteristics that are used for biomedical measurements. Basic modules of the electric muscle stimulator - presentation. Ultrasound in medicine - overview of the diagnostically methods: tomography, cardiosonography, measurement of blood flow (Doppler). Generating of the medical image - examples. Digitalization of analogous image. Medical image processing. Basic methods for image processing. Basic methods for digital medical image improving. Morphology methods for image processing. Practical examples.
