Course Objectives: | The purpose of this course is to instruct the basic physical principles of the radiation and radiotherapy, starting from the structure of the atom. At the same time this Lecture aims to introduce physical decays which is very useful to understand radiotherapy. Moreover, students will learn the physical features of the radiotherapy devices which they will use them all their career. |
Course Content: | The structure of matter and the interaction of ionizing radiation with matter, the methods of measuring radiation, the treatment devices, radiation units, radiotherapy applications. |
