Radiation Physics

Catalog description

This course will discuss and explain the necessary theoretical concepts of radiation physics that are the foundation for understanding the ideas and practices used in radiation therapy and nuclear medicine in the hospital setting. This course work together with the student’s internships in the hospital setting provides both a theoretical and experimental practicum in the principles of radiation physics. These ideas will be explained through lectures, power point presentations and class discussions. Emphasis will always be on tying together all the concepts presented. Prerequisite: MATH 100 and PHYS 105 and PHYS 106 .
