Biophysics [005]

The lecture „X-rays: Sources and Spectra“ is aimed to explain X-ray origin, their energy spectra (line and continuous), their interactions with matter, radiation attenuation and properties of X-rays important for medical applications.                                                                                                                                              

The presentation explains the general characteristics of sound (wavelength, period, frequency, amplitude, intensity), propagation and attenuation of sound in the environment through which passes, acoustic impedance, the principle of ultrasound imaging, imaging modes (A, B, M, 3D), origin and detection of ultrasound, resolution in ultrasound imaging, biological effects of ultrasound, Doppler effect and its use.

Suitable for all study programmes.

The lecture „Radioactivity III“ is aimed to explain gamma decay, interaction of gamma rays with matter, energy spectra, radiation attenuation, and protection against radiation.                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

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