| PHYS3029-1 | Physics and medical imaging
|
|
| Duration : | 44h Th, 24h Pr, 16h Mon. WS |
|
| Number of credits : |
|
|
| Lecturer : | Alain Seret |
|
Language(s) of instruction :
|
| French language |
|
Organisation and examination :
|
| Teaching in the second semester |
|
Course contents :
|
| Physics for first-year university students in life sciences : electromagnetism, quantum physics, nuclear physics. Many concepts are illustrated by an introduction to the physics of medical imaging. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| Introduction to physics domain cited in "Course contents" including to some of their applications to life sciences and to physics of medical imaging as well as learning of the scientific method. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| DC currents.
Basic mathematics (algebra, analyse, elements of geometry and trigonometry) are also needed. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| Experiments are performed in live and video documents are projected during the courses. They are full part of the course contents. The course is accompagnied by practical works where students are teached to the solving of exercices and the use of experimental devices. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| The theoretical course is face-to-face with active participation of the students for the solving of exercices. Much more active participation of the students is expected for the practical works. |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| Textbooks.
