 General Objectives
The
general objectives are to provide the health sciences students with a good
understanding of basic physics and its relevance to the health sciences.
It is
hoped that the numerous applications to biological and physiological
problems will not only make these physical principles more useful as
professional tools, but also stimulate the student toward a deeper study of
the principles.
Specific
Objectives
At
the end of the course, the student will be able to:
- Review General physics including The Use of
Mathematics .
- Describe the Physical quantities , SI
Units, and Dimensional Analysis
- Define the basic properties of the physics of sound
and describe the mechanism of human hearing.
- Describe the use of physics of ultrasound and
Doppler effect in medical imaging.
- Describe the physics of optics including
reflection, refraction and their implications in use of mirrors,
lenses and optic fibers.
- Describe the basics of Endoscopes , Laparoscopes
and Phototherapy
- Describe the mechanism of physics of vision
and the use of lenses in correction of the most common human vision
problems.
- Describe the modern physics, quantization, atomic
structure, and the basic physics of production of X-rays and their use
in medical imaging.
- Describe the physics of nuclear magnetisms and its
application as Magnetic resonance imaging
10. Describe production
of lasers and its applications in medicine.
11. Define the physics
of radiobiology and describe the effects of radiation on the body and
its applications in Radiotherapy.
12. Define the physics
of radioactivity and related terms and describe its production ,
detection and use in nuclear medicine imaging.
