To illustrate applications of the many technical areas taught at DTU. |
| Contents: Bioelectromagnetism (nerves, electrodes, amplifiers, signals from muscles, heart and brain). Various clinical measurements (blood flow, perfusion, urology, respiration, and chemical analysis). Techniques for recording images showing structure and function of the organs in the body (ultrasound, x-ray (shadow images and tomographic images (CT), magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, single photon emission computer tomography). Product development. Medical Technology assessment. A report about a specific topic (chosen by the student) is written and presented. |
