Medical Physics

The course aims to provide students with:
i) the basics of the scientific method,
ii) knowledge of the fundamental concepts of physics underlying the structure and functionality of the organism,
iii) the physical principles underlying the main diagnostic methods.

Students:
a) know the main physical quantities of relevance for medical physics and for understanding the structure and functionality of the organism;
b) learn to apply the knowledge of such quantities within exemplary problems;
c) learn the physical and technological bases of diagnostics, with particular attention to imaging diagnostics.
