The course is held in the fifth semester of integrated medical studies, in the first six weeks of classes. All forms of teaching are conducted at the Institute of Biophysics.
The course consists of 8 hours of lectures, 3 hours of seminars and one hour of computational exercises.
Compensation for seminars and exercises is planned for the penultimate week of the semester. The detailed structure and schedule of the classes are in the document in the news section.
Attendance at all forms of teaching are defined by the study regulations (September 2024) and the Department suggests that students look at the regulations. Any other information, obtained from different sources, which contradicts the regulations, will not be valid.

The aim of this course is to give a brief overview of the physical concepts of various sources of energy, tissue properties, and image properties employed in medical imaging. Biophysics in Radiology course includes lectures about the structure of the atom, elementary nuclear physics, the nature of electromagnetic radiation, the interactions of radiation with matter, and the production of X rays as fundamentals to the understanding of the physics of medical imaging and radiation protection. Further, students will learn about the basic principles of computed tomography (CT), ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
