Summary
In the course students are familiarized and practically verify principles by acting of various types of physical energies on living organisms using medical therapeutical instrumentation. The use of these effects for therapy purposes is discussed in more detail, the critical doses that are acceptable under different treatment conditions are listed. The individual therapeutic methods are discussed and the nature of the device, the description and its construction, including the relation to the valid legislation regulating their use, are explained. Safety risks are explained using medical instrumentation and individual therapeutic methods.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The aim of the course is to provide detailed information about medical therapeutical instruments, their activities, construction, and the relationship of legislation governing their use. Students acquire knowledge about medical therapeutical devices and devices, including inclusion in individual therapeutic methods. The acquired knowledge and skills in this subject form the basic prerequisite of knowledge of biomedical engineer.
