Innledning
Biomedical engineering includes medical electronics, medical imaging systems, modeling of biological systems, analytical measurements methods, working mechanisms and applications of medical devices and equipment. This course aims to familiarize and expand the expertise of the students with the theoretical and practical considerations relevant to the design and development of most advanced and available methods, tools, and systems in medical diagnostics. It will also provide an overview of important applications for diagnostic procedures that will include modelling of organs and tissues, developing diagnostic applications, and the advanced medical equipment.
The course will be offered once a year, provided 3 or more students sign up for the course. If less than 3 students sign up for a course, the course will be cancelled for that year.
