Module Description

The fundamental issues in biomedical engineering relate to the generic understanding of materials to be optimized for applications within the human body, diagnosis and therapy by means of highly reliable technical devices and the sophisticated imaging tools for tissue inspection. The module focuses on the physical principles and mathematical approaches so that the acquired generic knowledge can be applied to solve a great variety of problems for the patient’s benefit. Here it is obvious that imaging provides information on materials and biological matter including the interface, different materials are combined in medical devices such as pace makers and acquired signals give feedback to establish relations between function and morphology uncovered by means of imaging techniques.
