| The course includes the basic subjects of biomedical physics centering the concept of wave. The properties of mechanical and electromagnetic waves will be discussed. Studenst will have an understanding of the properties and applications of ultrasound, radio waves, infrared, laser light, flourescence, ultraviolet, x-ray and gamma rays. In this course, imaging techniques commonly used in the clinic and treatment methods related to the subjects will be examined together with the basic biophysics principles. |
