Learning outcomes
After completing the course students are able to follow other medical physics courses. Students can explain the interaction mechanisms of ionizing radiation at keV and MeV energies in water and metals. They can recognize the differences between radiations arising from accelerators and radioactive isotopes. Students can also explain how these two types of radiation are produced.
