Radiobiology and Radiological protection 0600-S2-CM-ROR
The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the principles of radiological protection and the effects of ionizing radiation on the human body. Particular attention is paid to quality assurance in diagnostic imaging.
1. Basic concepts of nuclear physics: the phenomenon and types of radioactivity, X-ray radiation, other types of radiation used in medicine.
2. Methods of radiation emission by X-ray equipment and its characteristics: classic X-ray equipment, digital radiography, computed tomography, subtraction angiography, scintigraphy.
3. The effect of ionizing radiation on the human body: effects of radiation at the molecular, cell and organism level, biological effectiveness of radiation, dose equivalent, effects of stochastic and non-stochastic radiation, the problem of cancer induction by imaging diagnostics, hereditary effects of radiation
