title: The pedagogical aspects in the physical measurements provided in medicine.
abstract: Nowadays, the graduates of medical faculties should be able to use up to date complicated technical devices as well as various diagnostic and therapeutic methods based on physical laws and processes. Therefore good knowledge in physics (including some fields of modern physics) is expected to be mastered by students during their studies of physics at the faculty. The shortness of time that is available for the teaching of physics has forced us to the laboratory exercises to the maximum extent. In this contribution, some special measurements will be described. The authors also discuss the possibilities of applying new practical and theoretical approaches, and stress the significance of the teaching of applied physics at medical faculties for the quality of medical care in the future.
