Contemporary Biomedical Engineering

The main objective of this course is to introduce students in a modern methods and techniques for diagnosis and treatment using a light, to train them to use devices, as well as to explain obtained results. In addition, they will be able to propose new solutions and to increase sensitivity and specificity of existing methods and techniques.

The main objective is to train researcher who can work independently at the device, as well as to be able to plan, conduct and analyse experiments of the doctoral thesis, or to participate in the team at the clinic for the early diagnosis of cancer epithelial tissues (skin, oral cavity, cervix and colon).

Introduction in diffuse, polarized, monochromatic and others type of lights. Biomedical photonics, spectroscopy (UV-VIS, NIR) spectroscopy opto-magnetic, image processing, signal processing, hyper spectral image analysis, image analysis and fractal signals, neuro-fuzzy algorithms. Light therapy (depression, injuries, wounds, etc.).

Introduction to the work of opto-magnetic spectroscopy device. The skin scanning by a camera, than image processing, and convolution spectral diagrams drawing. The procedures of oral swabs and cervical smears preparation. The processing and analysis of results. The comparison of obtained results to the results obtained by histopathology. The identification of traumas and injuries before and after the treatment by polarized light, static and oscillating magnetic field.
