An intensive review course for therapeutic radiology residents and graduate students in medical physics in preparation for the American Board of Radiology Certification examination. The course covers selected topics in radiation detection interaction and protection. Topics will also be selected from radiation dosimetry and diagnostic and therapeutic imaging. This is a practical course directed towards understanding of the instruments computers apparatus and facilities used in applied radiation work. The student will be given a problem requiring scientific evaluation with essay-type reporting.
Students participate in providing clinical physics service under supervision.
Practice currently available are offered each term as listed below. This course will cover selected topics in modern biology for those who are not primarily trained as biologists. The course will consider ionizing radiation effects on single cells organized tissue and the known effects on man. Emphasis will be put on those radiobiological principles which closely relate to cancer treatment. This course will develop the basic concepts and principles of nonsurgical cancer management.
