Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to complement high school level physics education by providing specific material focusing on health care issues and on basic mechanisms involved in affecting the human being through physical factors. Radiology provides basic information about the physical essence of radiological imaging technologies and their potential risks to the human being.
The student completing the course knows and is able to use in practice the basic biophysical and biochemical processes in the human body and knows the fundamentals of medical biophysics and radiology.
