The course will consist of six laboratory exercises and a research project. Laboratory exercises will cover topics including biomechanics, optics and medical radiation physics. The research project will allow students the opportunity to apply experimental skills in novel and creative ways while solving problems in medical physics. These problems will include optical characterization of biological tissue, biomechanical analysis of the motion of athletes for improved performance and the analysis of bio-hazardous materials in communal sources. It is expected that students will further refine the problem, perform a detailed literature review, and develop a suitable methodology in addition to an appropriate analysis technique.
The final grade will be based on the following:
