Description:
The module IT techniques in medicine shall enable students an insight into IT techniques in medicine with special emphasis on the ways of data acquiring, processing, coding, and storing in databases. Owing to that students shall understand the role of digital techniques in the recording of biological objects images or biological signals as well as advanced methods of their processing for the monitoring and diagnostic purposes; also the role of Internet in diagnostics, telemedicine or electronic patient service.
Prerequisites:
It is required to achieve effects of education of the mathematics module.
