Annotation

The aim of the subject is to provide students of higher years with a deeper overview of diagnostic, therapeutic and laboratory medical devices, which are an integral part of all medical fields today.

Within subject, the physical principles on which diagnostic, therapeutic and laboratory methods established. As part of the practical exercises, the correct measurement methodology will be explained to the students, the issue of measurement method error and its minimization. At the same time, students will have the opportunity to practically get to know each other with common modern clinical and laboratory instruments.
