The uses and dosimetric aspects of radiation in medicine will be analyzed, including many basic applications in the fields of diagnostic radiology physics, therapy physics, and nuclear medical physics.

A continuation of RAS/RM 647. Specialized and advanced topics in nuclear medicine imaging physics, including positron emission tomographic procedures, emerging new modalities, and quality control.

Specialized experiments involving the use, calibration, and quality control of X-ray and other diagnostic imaging equipment, and the appropriate use of radiation detectors in diagnostics physics measurements. Laboratory, approximately 30 hours per credit. May be repeated to a maximum of three credits.

Independent directed research on theoretical and practical problems in the health-related radiation sciences. May be repeated to a maximum of eight credits.

Topics of current interest relating to radiation and its applications in the areas of radiological medical physics and health physics. May be repeated to a maximum of four credit hours with consent of instructor.
