This course introduces students to fundamental aspects of anatomy, biochemistry and physiology in order to develop a basic understanding of cells, tissues and organs and how they may be altered by disease. The course uses a mixture of traditional lectures and tutorial sessions to place he knowledge within the context of medical imaging, medical physics and bioengineering.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
