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
Suitable to all study branches.
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
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.
Sound Waves & Ultrasound Imaging
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.
Radioactivity III.
The lecture „Radioactivity III“ is aimed to explain gamma decay, interaction of gamma rays with matter, energy spectra, radiation attenuation, and protection against radiation.
Radioactivity II.
The lecture „Radioactivity II“ is aimed to explain alpha and beta decays, interaction of these particles with matter, energy spectra and range of particles, protection against radiation.
Structure of Matter From Biophysical Point of View
The lecture „Structure of Matter From Biophysical Point of View“ is aimed to give a brief introduction to some applications of physics at microscopic level in medicine. It explains the fundamental problem of science, gives an overview of important stages in structure analysis, explains different structure and forms of matter, physical interactions, general properties and characteristics of matter, Heisenberg uncertainty principle, basic properties of elementary particles, the principle and usefulness of Schrödinger equation.
Radioactivity
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.
Resting membrane potential
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.
