Summary
In the course the students are familiarized and practically verify the principles of measurement and processing of biological signals using medical diagnostic instrumentation. The principles of sensing, operation and construction of instrumentation are discussed in more detail. The individual diagnostic methods were examined and the nature of the measuring devices, the description and elimination of the interfering effects of the measurement, including the relation to the valid legislation regulating their use, were discussed. Safety risks are explained using medical instrumentation and individual diagnostic methods.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The aim of the course is to provide detailed information on medical diagnostic instruments, their activities, their design, their relationship with the legislation governing their use. Learning outcomes of the course unit The student acquires knowledge about medical diagnostic devices and devices including classification in individual diagnostic methods. The acquired knowledge and skills in this subject form the basic prerequisite of knowledge of biomedical engineer.
