Medical Instrumentation 1

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Circuit Theory

Synopsis:

Student will study fundamental principles of medical devices and systems, especially from the point of view of electronic circuits. Erudition of men physiology and circuits theory is supposed. Obtained knowledge is useful within the design and development, installation and service of medical devices and systems.
