Physics of Radiology |
3 - 2 - 3 |
75 |
|
| Description for Course: |
This course focuses on the analysis of the basic physical phenomena relating to the various Diagnostic Imaging Modalities and Radiation Oncology. With the use of multimeters and test instruments, the student describes basic principles of electromagnetism, magnetic resonance, optics and ultrasound. He/she analyzes the nature of matter and radiation as applied to clinical situations in general. Physics of Radiology is a course offered to both the Diagnostic Imaging and Radiation Oncology programs. However, the laboratory component is program-specific. Some physical phenomena, structure of matter, and production and properties of radiation are seen early in the term, as these notions are essential to the Basic Radiographic Imaging course (142-BYE-03) offered in the same semester. |
