ELI2600 Medical signals and images Course description

The course describe the analysis and processing of signals in the frequency domain and analysis of systems for signal processing. Images are two-dimensional signals. The course also include the acquisition of image data, reconstruction of images and basic image processing of images for medical diagnostics.

All aids are permitted, as long as the rules for source referencing are complied with.

No requirements over and above the admission requirements.

After finishing this course the student should have the following outcome:

Knowledge:

Understand the connection between the impulse response and frequency response

ENGC6110 Engelsk 1, trinn 1-7, emne 1.;Individuell skriftlig hjemmeeksamen.;

Avsluttende vurdering i emnet gjennomføres i høstsemesteret.

Eksamen er en individuell skriftlig hjemmeeksamen. Eksamensspråket er engelsk. Hjemmeeksamen går over én uke (syv dager). Oppgavens omfang skal være om lag 2000 ord.

Ny/utsatt eksamen

Ny/utsatt eksamen gjennomføres på samme måte som til ordinær eksamen. Studentens rettigheter og plikter ved ny/utsatt eksamen framgår av Forskrift om studier og eksamen ved OsloMet. Studenter er selv ansvarlige for å melde seg opp til eventuell ny/utsatt eksamen.

Language of instruction: Norwegian

This course provides knowledge about the life situation of older adults living at home seen from an individual, social and cultural perspective and framework. Particular emphasis is placed on problems related to disadvantaged and vulnerable groups of older adults. Different theoretical and analytical perspectives in gerontology and geriatrics are drawn in to highlight how older adults´ life situation affects their experiences, activity and participation. The course has a focus on older adults as active players in their own everyday lives, and how they understand and experience their own situation.

After completing the course, the student should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:;

Knowledge

The student

• can critically analyse and assess physiotherapy theories for older adults regardless of their ethnicity
• can analyse and assess movement, function, participation and health-related quality of life related to physiotherapy for the older adult
• can interpret and analyse theories about motor control and learning in the older adults

;Skills

The student

• can apply relevant theories in the analysis of movement and function in older adults
• can apply and critically reflect on the use of standardised assessment instruments in clinical practice
• can analyse and discuss the results of assessments of older adults
• can apply research-based knowledge, experience-based knowledge including older adults’ knowledge and preferences

;General competence ;

The student

• can critically reflect on the knowledge basis for physiotherapy for the older adults
• can communicate up-to-date disciplinary knowledge to collaborative partners and the population at large
• can identify and handle ethical dilemmas related to assessment and measures in physiotherapy

The course will use varied, student-active work methods. Work and teaching methods include lectures, seminars, self-study assignments and supervision. Teaching is session-based; with two sessions lasting five days each, one of which is dedicated to self-study and supervision.

The following must have been approved for the student to take the examination:

• a minimum of 80% attendance at seminars where students present their assignments, and in group supervision.

Individual project examination in the form of a given topic that is developed during the course. Scope: 3,000 words (+/- 10%).

Resit examination: If the student is awarded the grade F (fails the written assignment), he/she will be given one (1) opportunity to submit a reworked version.

Two examiners will assess all examination papers. At least 20% of the examination papers will be assessed by an external examiner. The external examiner’s assessment should benefit all students.;
