Ateneo - UPO

The course is structured in 3 parts: 1) dosimetric aspects in radiology; 2)quality aspects, including quality control on equipment, in radiology; 3)physics of the equipment used in radiology.

Diagnostic Radiology Physics (a handbook for teachers and students )Dance - IAEA http://iaea.org/MTCD/Publications/PDF/Pub1564webNew-74666420.pdf

The module aims to provide basic knowledge about the operatingprinciples and the physical and technological characteristics of the mainequipment used in diagnostic radiology (to manage imaging acquisitionand processing procedures). The course also addresses the issue ofquality assurance and performance of quality controls on equipment ( toacquire the necessary knowledge to use quality control, assessment andreview tools) . It also proposes to address the issue of the radiation dose(principles of radiation protection, the principle of optimization)

basic knowledge of radiation physics (definition of radiation; interactionradiation and matter).

Interactive course to stimulate and involve the student in learning.

WRITTEN examination (20 multiple choice questions and 3 open answerquestions) relating to the main topics covered during the course. The testevaluates the acquired knowledge and the student's ability to apply themin his reality. In order to achieve the knowledge and skills correspondingto the minimum level of sufficiency, the student must demonstrate basicknowledge and competence on the main topics covered in class with asufficient degree of autonomy. To achieve an advanced level, the studentmust demonstrate an adequate degree of in-depth knowledge of all thematerial proposed. Collegial valutation together with the other teachersof the module.
