Qualification-goals/Competencies:

• The students are able to describe, illustrate and compare the fundamental diagnostic and therapeutic optical techniques in biomedicine.
• They are able to assess advantages and disadvantages of these techniques and to draw conclusions for their implementation into possible applications.
• They can explain light and tissue interactions and relate them to the optical techniques in which they are used.
• The students are able to understand and classify complex optical techniques as a whole and to analyze their constitutents.
• They have a profound understanding of scientific optical techniques in biomedicine, can apply it independently, and are able to transfer their knowledge to related tasks.
