Applications of physical sciences in medical technology are the main field of this course. Topics include bio-mechanics, sound and hearing, pressure and motion of fluids, heat and temperature, electricity and magnetism in the body, optics and the eye, biological effects of light, use of ionizing radiation in diagnosis and therapy, radiation safety and medical instrumentation.
This course aims to identify physical principle of biomechanics, heat and temperature, electrical and magnetism of the body. To demonstrate the concept of radiation and how to utilize it in therapy, explain radiation safety, in addition to provide students the physical principle of different medical instrument.
