Patient Dosimetry in Medical Imaging and Radiotherapy

3 Credits

Students will review the methods and techniques for assessing organ doses in medical imaging and radiotherapy techniques through the use of computational dosimetry. The LSeries of lectures will discuss various imaging modalities, preceded by a review of how radiation exposure might induce cancer in humans. The latter portion of the course will cover radiotherapy. The P-Series of practicum sessions will give hands-on experience with computational phantoms
