Medical Biophysics: Structure and Properties of Atoms
The goal of the lecture is to explain and/or to revise basic physical principles and physical terminology, connected with atoms and nuclei, their structure and properties, which will be used in the subsequent lectures concerning the subject Medical Biophysics and related subjects, using knowledge of the microworld. This concerns, for example, molecules, electromagnetic spectrum, electromagnetic methods in medicine, methods of microscopy, non-ionising and ionising radiation (light, infrared, and ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, gamma-rays), imaging methods in medicine, and others.
Suitable to all study branches.
Medical Biophysics: Structure of Matter – Principles
The goal of the lecture is to explain and/or to review the basic physical principles and physical terminology that will be used in the subsequent lectures concerning the subject Medical Biophysics and related subjects and topics that use knowledge of the microworld, and that are necessary for their correct understanding. This concerns, for example, atoms and their nuclei, molecules, sound and ultrasound, electromagnetic spectrum, electromagnetic methods in medicine, methods of microscopy, non-ionising and ionising radiation (light, infrared, and ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, gamma-rays), imaging methods in medicine, principles of therapy and others.
Suitable to all study branches.
Magnetic Methods in Medicine - Part 2: Methods Based on Active Magnetic Signals
The lecture deals with basic physical principles of selected magnetic methods in medicine, which are based on recording of the active magnetic biological signals, as magnetocardiography, magnetoencephalography, and magnetomyography.
Suitable to all study branches.
Magnetic Methods in Medicine - Part 1: Theory

Quantities and Units: New Definitions
The International System of Units, SI, is used worldwide as the preferred system of units as the basic language for science, technology... SI is a consistent system of units for use in all aspects of life, including health. SI has been accepted by 59 member states and another 42 associate members of the General Conference worldwide.
X-rays: Sources and Spectra
