Physical Methods in Medicine 1

The course is a substitute for:

The Physical Methods in Medicine 1 (E02FM1)

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Physics

Synopsis:

The progressive treatment methods and physical principles will be discussed in these lectures. We will focus on the problem of the chronic kidney failure. This problem will be analyzed from the ethic and technical side of view and there will be also discussed clinical use of the artificial kidney. Students will be able to measure blood pressure, determine basic lung parameters and measure the ECG curve.
