- The course is a substitute for:
- Introduction to Biomedical Engineering (X33BMI)
- Lecturer:
- Tutor:
- Supervisor:
- Department of Cybernetics
- Synopsis:
-
The aim of this course is to get the students knowledgeable with basics of biomedical engineering and application of information technologies in this field. Attention is paid to topics starting from basic cybernetic approaches of life organisms investigation and modelling through principles of evolution to medical instrument systems. During the seminars the students will get basic experience with the programming of medical devices, with the visualization systems as well with techniques of biomedical informatics.
- Requirements:
-
For successful completion of the course, it is necessary to present the results of the individual work to other students and explain the approaches used.
