Innehåll och lärandemål
Lärandemål
Syftet med kursen är att ge grundläggande kunskaper om olika mät- och diagnostiseringsmetoder inom sjukvården. Såväl teknisk som medicinska och biologiska metoder ingår.
Efter fullgjord kurs är målsättningen att studenten ska kunna:
-
Definiera hur ett generellt mätsystem är uppbyggt och redogöra för uppkomst och eliminering av störningar
-
Redogöra för de skillnader det utgör att utföra mätningar på ett biologiskt system i jämförelse med tekniska system
-
Förklara hur olika medicinska givare fungerar
-
Beskriva grunderna för fysikalisk diagnostik och relatera detta till medicintekniska metoder
-
Beskriva de vanligaste mätmetoderna inom klinisk fysiologi, klinisk neurofysiologi, klinisk mikrobiologi och immunologi och klinisk kemi och när de används
-
Beskriva syfte med och funktion för patientövervakning och motivera olika medicinska tillämpningar
-
Genomföra mätningar med hjälp av medicinteknisk utrustning på sig själv och andra studenter samt tolka resultaten från dessa mätningar
-
Hantera viss medicinteknisk mätutrustning och kunna jämföra praktiska fördelar och nackdelar
Läraktiviteter
The teaching consists of lectures, four laboratories, and two seminars.
Lectures will include presentation of new materials with intermittent student activities or calculation exercises. Participation in Lectures is encouraged. The lecture will be followed by voluntary assignments to train on the material. Will start at xx:15.
Laboratories will include compulsory preparation, participation in the laboratory in a group and subsequent submission of a complete laboratory report. The preparation quiz and attendance will be checked in the laboratory. Will start at xx.00.
Seminars will include a group presentations with subsequent questioning by a second group. You should be present for both your presentation and the presentation of your peers. Will start at xx:15.
In the group you will propose your own sensor technology to 1) monitor an organ/disease condition and 2) ensure safe operation of a medical device. You can decide for yourself which organ or device you would like to work on. The final presentation should include a description of the need, the requirements, an explanation of the function of the sensor that you choose, and a description of the proposed read-out circuit. The theory on each aspect will be covered in the lectures.

Literature:
All information will be provided in the lecture slides or via additional links. However, if you like to read additional material:
- ToDo: I recomment to buy the newest edition of the book.
Medical Instrumentation: Application and Design, John Webster
Bioinstrumentation, John Webster Outlines & Highlights for Medical Instrumentation Application and Design by John G. Webster, John W. Clark (Contribution by), Michael R. Neuman, ISBN: 9780471676003
Use of laboratory equipment:
You will be building your own measurement equipment. For this to be successful it is important that you can independently operate the standard electronics equipment in the lab. This includes voltage source, oscilloscope, clamps, and mounting of circuit boards.
- ToDo: Consult your laboratory materials from the course HE1200.
Use software:
The course will enable you to build your own circuit. You have learned how to use OrCAD in HE1200. We will be using the software to get ready for the laboratories. You have access to the software on the computers in T41 in Flemingsberg. Check that you have access to the room.
- ToDo: Check that you have access to the room T41 in Flemingsberg .

- RED1 - Redovisning, 7,0 hp, Betygsskala: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Examinator beslutar, baserat på rekommendation från KTH:s handläggare av stöd till studenter med funktionsnedsättning, om eventuell anpassad examination för studenter med dokumenterad, varaktig funktionsnedsättning.
Examinator får medge annan examinationsform vid omexamination av enstaka studenter.
För slutbetyg i kursen krävs godkänd tentamen, godkända laborationer samt godkänt på obligatoriska uppgifter i kursen.
Avsnittet nedan kommer inte från kursplanen:
RED1 - Redovisning, 7,0 hp
- LAB - LabWorks, 3.0 credits, grading scale: P,F
The LAB will count as pass, if a complete laboratory report was handed in that shows active participation in all four laboratory activity.
- SEM - Seminar, 1.0 credits, grading scale: P,F
The SEM will count as pass, if you have presented in both seminars and actively participated in the discussion.
