HL2008 Simulation Methods in Medical Engineering 7.5 credits

The laboratory exercises of the course are devoted to the presentation of medical simulation systems with working demonstrators.

Following this course you will gain knowledge and understanding of:

• Mathematics, physics background and solution methods of medical simulations.
• Biomechanics simulations using finite elements.
• Simulations for Fluid and Climate Technology.
• Haptic simulations.
• Surgical simulations.
• Molecular simulations.
• Simulation of neural networks.

Theory and practical use of medical simulations is studied. A comprehensive introduction to the methods and theory of medical simulations is provided. The course is suited for biomedical engineering students, which have limited experience and want an introduction to the theoretical background for medical simulations.

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering Physics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or equivalent.
Basic knowledge of anatomy.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• LAB1 - Laboratory Work, 3.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
• TEN1 - Examination, 4.5 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

Passed written exam (TEN1; 4,5 cr.), grading A-F.
Passed lab work (LAB1; 3 cr.), grading P/F.
