Course objectives
The main aim of this course is to broaden,update and also unify the knowledge of students in the field of medical devices applications. Thus the subject is a continuation of analogous subjects taught in the first course of bachelor studies. Besides the deeper understanding of principles of medical devices, the interactions „healthcare professional-device“ and „patient-device“ are underlined and the resulting risks explained more in detail. Interpretation of the quality and performance indicators is a new feature in these lectures.
Syllabus
  • Principles and practice of radiation protection: 1) Physical principles of radiation protection 2) Dosimetry and detectors of radiation 3) Safety of patients 4) Dose optimisation – relation between the dose and image quality in radiology 5) Principles and criteria of radiation protection ;
