Study specializations - 3rd semester in Prague

Erasmus Mundus Master’s course CEMACUBE (Common European MAster’s CoUrse in Biomedical Engineering)

In the third semester (30 ECTS) course elements on a specific topic will be given. Faculty of biomedical engineering will offer 3 specialisations, based on keyline research, so students get state-of-the-art knowledge, preparing them optimally for future development in BME

Descriptions of the study specilization offered on CTU, FBME Kladno, Czech Republic:

Medical Instrumentation

The mentioned study specialization has aims to focus the student profile in medical instrumentation and related areas. Emphasis is placed on understanding the physical principles of the various categories of medical devices and related properties and parameters, including the ability to assess the degree of risk to the patient. Very important in understanding the applications of medical instrumentation has the appearance of knowledge from biology, anatomy and physiology in particular. In terms of representation of individual disciplines are the following categories: the application of electromagnetic fields in medicine, especially in therapy (hyperthermia), diagnostic and therapeutic devices used most frequently in clinical practice, basic design and construction of selected blocks of medical devices, selection methods and apparatus of the clinical laboratory equipment, medical devices for anesthesia and resuscitation and finally applications of lasers in medicine. Lectures are supplemented by laboratory exercises on real equipment used in clinical practice, especially in the workplace simulated ICU. Focus includes a section dedicated to student work on the project, which is part of the thesis and the study of languages, especially Czech. After completing the courses within the study specialization students will be able to focus fully and independently work on a thesis topic in the laboratories of faculty or other external cooperating workplaces, including health facilities (hospitals).

Complete study plan for academic year 2012/2013.

Modern Physical Methods in Biomedical Engineering (not offered from the 2013/2014 academic year)

The mentioned study specialization aims to focus the student profile in the field of modern physical methods used in biomedical engineering. Emphasis is placed on understanding the physical principles based on knowledge of many parts of mathematics and theoretical physics in particular. Very important for a comprehensive understanding of the above physical methods are mainly knowledge from the biology and biochemistry. In terms of representation of individual disciplines are the following categories: applications of optoelectronics in medicine, biophotonics, characterization methods (especially relates to biomaterials, surfaces, etc.), spectroscopy, laser technology, nanotechnology, the detection of ionizing radiation by detectors, and fiber optics, not least in field of medicine. Lectures are supplemented by laboratory exercises or demo exercises in laboratories FBME in Kladno and Prague with support of real scientific instruments used for time-consuming challenging experiments. Selected experiments are performed in the laboratories of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. Focus includes a section dedicated to student work on the project, which is part of the thesis and the study of languages, especially Czech. After completing the courses within the study specialization student will be able to focus fully and independently work on a thesis topic in the laboratories of faculty or other external cooperating workplaces.

Medical Imaging Instrumentation

The mentioned study specialization aims to focus the student profile in medical instrumentation used in imaging methods in medicine. Attention is paid to understanding the physical principles of imaging modalities and related properties and parameters, including the ability to assess the impact on the final quality of the image data. Emphasis is then placed on the dash and construction implementation of the imaging system. In connection with the evaluation of the quality of the output image data, students are familiar with the basics of image processing and analysis, including the possibility of it´s capture. Very important in understanding the application of imaging methods is knowledge from biology, anatomy and physiology in particular. In terms of representation of individual disciplines are the following categories: applications of optoelectronics in medicine, image processing and analysis, imaging systems in nuclear medicine, ultrasound and Doppler imaging systems, X-rays imaging systems, television, endoscopic and infrared imaging systems, magnetic resonance imaging and electrical impedance tomography, microscopic imaging systems in medicine and ultimately the application of fiber optics in medicine, particularly in imaging techniques. Lectures are supplemented by laboratory exercises on models and sub-blocks of real instruments (especially the parts relating to the image capturing - image sensors) used in clinical practice. Focus includes a section dedicated to student work on the project, which is part of the thesis and the study of languages, especially Czech. After completing the courses within the study specialization student will be able to focus fully and independently work on a thesis topic in the laboratories of faculty or other external cooperating workplaces, including health facilities (hospitals).
