Interactions of Radiation with Matter
Introductions of radiation with matter and provides the foundation for future courses in imaging and therapy. Topics covered include: exponential attenuation, x-ray production, interactions of radiation with matter, radioactive decay, atomic and nuclear structure, charged particle equilibrium, cavity theory, dosimetry, ionization chambers and other measurement devices.
Outcomes: Students will understand how x-rays are produced, basic interactions of photons and electrons in matter, cavity theory, ionization chambers and other devices.
