Branch programme/details

The doctoral (Ph.D.) degree programme entitled “Imaging Methods in Medicine” covers various qualitative and quantitative methods of image analysis in biology and medicine. Research and the development of new imaging techniques and procedures, as well as the analysis, processing and interpretation of data are also emphasized, including artificial intelligence. The degree programme is closely related to molecular biology, molecular imaging, radiology, nuclear medicine, pathology and many other fundamental and clinical fields of biomedicine. The standard length of study is four (4) years.

The program is carried out without any specialization.

Program je uskutečňován bez specializace.

The admission examination is held in the form of interview before a board and it checks the student’s capacity for scientific work in the given field and his/her capacity to complete the studies. Criteria evaluated by the board are following:

1. Quality of the topic and project of the dissertation thesis and the way of its presentation, proposal of the supervisor/advisor and financial coverage of the project – max. 30 points.
2. Previous scientific activity in this field (publications, presentation in a Student Scientific Conference, etc.) – max. 20 points.
3. Knowledge of this field in the extent of the master study – max. 50 points.
