The lecture „Radioactivity“ is aimed to explain basic terms as radioactive isotopes, natural and artificial radioactivity, law of radioactive decay, half-life of decay (physical, biological, effective), mean life-time, activity and connected formulas and physical units.

The presentation explains the origin of resting membrane potential, principle of its measurement, its interpretation mainly based on diffusion potential (Donnan equilibrium), its calculation using the Nernst and the Goldman equations. Suitable to all study branches.                                   

Basic terminology of Medical Statistics. Suitable to all degrees of study and to all classes.

The aim of this lecture is to familiarize students with the sample characteristics that are most commonly used in the evaluation of medical experiments and occur in medical scientific and professional literature. Suitable to all study programmes and to all classes.

Overview of biological signals. Suitable to all study branches.

The lecture „Dosimetry - Measurement of Ionising Radiation“ is aimed to explain the term dosimetry and the basic quantities characterising the radiation from the aspect of their biological effects that allow to measure and to quantify them. Terms as dose, absorbed dose, absorbed dose rate, integral dose, equivalent dose, effective dose, kerma, kerma rate, exposure, exposure rate and connected formulas and physical units are explained.

The presentation offers an introduction to active electric biosignals from the point of view of their registration possibilities and analysis. Suitable to all study branches.

The presentation deals with active electric biosignals originating from the electric activity of the heart and with different possibilities of their registration and analysis. Suitable to all study branches.

The lecture deals with active electric biosignals originating from the electric activity of the skeletal muscles, brain, stomach, and eyes, and with possibilities of their registration and analysis. Suitable to all study branches.
