Biomedical Physics
- Unit Coordinator: Floran Grüner, Erika Garutti
- Programme: InterMaths
- ECTS Credits: 6
- Semester: 1
- Year: 2
- Campus: Hamburg University of Technology
- Language: English
- Delivery: In-class
- Aims:
At the end of the course, students will be familiar with modern methods in medical imaging and with the fundamental techniques for radiation-therapy. They will have learned the physics limits and how physics can bring an added value by pushing the limits further. During the journal club, these topics will be analyzed in view of the most modern developments in the fields. Students will also learn how to structure and how to discuss a scientific publication.
