MPHY 214 - Radiological Physics and Dosimetry
Semester Hours: 3
Fall
Advanced theory and principles of radiological physics applied to radiation dosimetry of charged and uncharged ionization radiation. Topics include field and dosimetric quantities, charge particle equilibrium, attenuation of uncharged particles, charged particle interactions and stopping power, beam quality specification, Monte Carlo method, cavity theory, dosimetry fundamentals, primary radiation standards, reference dosimetry for diagnostic and therapy beams, small field dosimetry, and absorbed dose determination for radionuclides.
Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
Open only to students enrolled in the MS program in medical physics or permission of program director. May not be taken on a Pass/Fail basis. (Formerly Fundamentals of Radiological Physics and Dosimetry.)
