Special Techniques in Health Physics

Undergraduate

This course consists of a variety of specialized topics involving the applications of the principles of physics to the study and characterization of living tissues, and the detection and treatment of pathological conditions. Topics will include the applications of acoustic microscopy, computational and statistical methods in medical physics, nanotechnology, and the interaction of ionizing radiation with living tissue. Course may be repeated when the topic is different. (Prerequisite: PHYS-3700, or the consent of the instructor.) (3 lecture hours a week.) (May be offered as a cross-career course with PHYS- 8600 (Sections 4 and 7).
