Course Goal / Objective
The aim of this course is to teach the theories and applications of basic radiation physics in the fields of radiation therapy, diagnostic and nuclear medicine. To teach the theory of the absorbed dose due to ionizing radiation. It focuses on the basic physical principles that constitute the common structure for these areas.
Course Content
Structure of matter, Nuclear transformations, Generation of x-rays, Clinical radiation generators, Interactions of ionizing radiation, Measurement of ionizing radiation, Quality of x-ray beam, Measurement of absorbed dose
