LX1110 - X-Ray Physics & Radiation Protection
This is a radiation physics course designed for x-ray skills students to give them an understanding of: (1) x-ray physics: the nature of x-rays, the production of x-rays, the interaction of x-rays with matter; (2) radiation dosimetry: radiation exposure, absorbed dose, dose equivalent, effective dose equivalent, detection of radiation and dosimeters. Combined with their knowledge of radiobiology, students will learn how to utilize radiation to provide maximum diagnostic information with minimal biological damage to the patient. Students will become familiar with national and provincial standards. They will learn how to maintain these standards by the correct use of equipment, accessories and other relevant factors. Students will also learn how to provide maximum protection from ionizing radiation for the patient, general public, co-workers and themselves.
