Non-invasive sensors for medical diagnostics (5 ECTS)

Presentation

Description:
TU "Non-invasive sensors to aid medical diagnosis" aims to present the physical concepts, sensors and their applications in the medical field in three main areas: infrared, MRI and ultrasound.

Objectives :

• Acquire the scientific knowledge needed in the field of IR, acoustic and high-energy detectors to understand the operating principles of the main X-ray equipment used in the medical field.
• Distinguish between different radiography technologies and be able to choose the type of investigation best suited to a given medical diagnostic problem.
