Abstract

Students will practice basic measurements using laboratory techniques in molecular biophysics, with a focus on optical methods and techniques for investigating the properties of liquids. They will measure basic physiological parameters of the body. They will learn about and measure basic physiological parameters of the sensory organs. They will practice measurements using basic electrodiagnostic techniques. They will verify the effects of ultrasound.

Learning outcomes
After the finishing of the course students (with orientation on biomedical devices) will:
  • understand and explain biophysical principles and laws;
  • operate basic biophysical measuring devices;
  • evaluate obtained data by the basic biophysical methods;
  • understand principles of the more complex therapeutical and diagnostical medical devices except of imaging methods;
  • discriminate possible usages of the biophysical methods and medical devices in practice;
Key topics
  • Practical exercises on biophysics
  • 1. Introduction, regulations of practical exercises, laboratory safety rules, etc. An introduction to the theory of measurement.

Practical exercises,  background and study materials in IS
Method of verifying learning outcomes and course completion requirements
Basic requirement is the full atendance in the lessons. Theoretical knowledges of the principles used methods are continuously controled by oral examination. For all tasks students must elaborate comprehensive report, these are graded. Course is finished by the multiple choice test consisting usually 20 questions, evaluated by 20 points. For successfully mastered test student need at least 10 points.
