Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
Radioprotection: hygiene problems
- Overview of the effects of ionizing radiation
- Overview of sources of ionizing radiation exposure
- Presentation of the specific case of medical exposure and the effects of low doses of ionizing radiation
- Presentation of the principles aiming at reducing exposure to ionizing radiation, reducing the risk of health effects
Elements of Medical IT
This course provides the basics to better understand informatics and tackle problems from the medical informatics world.
The 5 courses will cover the following topics:
- introduction: history of computing, various OS & programming languages, networking;
- data: representation formats, DICOM, database & PACS, transfer, security;
- algorithmic: principle of thinking, pseudo-code, functions and sub-functions, complexity;
- data processing: quality, contrast, noise, basic operations, filters, segmentation, registration;
- AI and machine learning: principles, algorithms, deep learning, validation.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Radioprotection: hygiene problems
- Understanding the effects of ionizing radiation
- Being able to implement principles of radiation protection
Elements of Medical IT
The goal is that medical students who have attened this course can better understand and grasp the fundamental concepts linked to computer science, medical or not. This will allow them to better communicate and interact with professionals in the IT field.
