Teaching in the second semester

Units courses prerequisite and corequisite :

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Course contents :

Wave physics
Wave and matter understanding
Interaction with matter: photons, electrons and particles
Nuclear physics
X-rays

Magnetic nuclear resonance spectroscopy
Infrared spectrosocpy
UV -visible spectrosocpy
Introduction to imagery

Learning outcomes of the course :

The course aims to introduce in a simple but rigorous manner the physical concepts which are the basis of several medical spectroscopical techniques. Students will be able to understand where the information is coming from, they will be aware of the limitations, possible artifacts and side-effects of the techniques.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills :

General physics

Planned learning activities and teaching methods :

10h of practical sessions and 10h exercices are organized.
They allow to perform a complementary view of the matter, in the practical side.

Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :

The lectures and all the related course activities are organized during the second quadrimester.
