Aims |
|
The aim is to give the students an understanding of the principles governing the operation of diagnostic and theraputic methods used in medical physics. A series of lectures with cover a range of specific techniques and modalities, both in theory and in practice with the aim of giving the students more knowledge. The students will have practical skills sessions to make measurements with a range of instrumentation with the aim of the students gaining experience with the techniques. |
Learning Outcomes |
|
(LO1) An understanding of the physical principles underpinning measurements of pressure, flow and electrophysiology. |
|
(LO2) An understanding of the relationship to clinical pathology, data processing and interpretation. |
|
(LO3) An understanding of sources of error: random, systematic and human and an inderstanding of the sensitivity and specificity of measurement techniques. |
|
(S1) IT skills |
Syllabus |
|
Clinical Physiological measurement covering: Pressure, flow and electrophysiology calibration & traceability sensitivity & specificity. |
