The course is the basic introductory course in ICT for the medical sector.

The course material aims to understand the functioning of computers as individual units and as building blocks of the global web with an emphasis on their use in medical science in general. It also refers to the organization and processing of data that respond to everyday practice such as organized data storage, working with diagnostic images and safe navigation to search for information on the Internet. In this sense, the course is the basis on which the student will understand the existing computing technology and its application in simple daily computing problems that he may face.

Finally, the aim of the course is the understanding by the students of the available technological material for data processing and information search and its use in medical practice and research.

Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:

 Understands the operation of the PC as a programmable machine.

• Understands the potential security risks that the PC may be exposed to in stand-alone and networked operation.
• He has knowledge of the individual parts (hardware and software) that make up a personal computer and the basic functions provided by the operating system through the graphical user interface and the command line.
• It is able to distinguish the risk of loss of work and data from non-observance of safe PC operation measures
• Uses workbook creation and editing programs (MS Excel, LO Calc) to edit and view data.
• It uses digital image processing programs (ImageJ) for digital image processing (reducing noise, improving image contrast by setting appropriate window/level values, automatically enumerating structures of interest, introducing physical scale, and performing physical scale measurements on images.
• It uses the integrated development environment of the python language to create simple string manipulation programs that represent genes.
