Staff

Directed reading course on advanced topics in Medical Physics to be designated by the staff instructing the course. Normally at least two topics will be allocated. Examples of such topics are: radiation induced chromosome aberrations and biological dosimetry; therapeutic applications of nuclear medicine; the role of stochastic geometry in microdosimetry; photobiological mechanisms and cancer therapy; digital radiographic techniques; statistics for medical imaging; iterative reconstructions in tomographic imaging; atomic and nuclear techniques in body composition. Topics will be designated so that they lie outside a student’s own research area. A student may register only once in this course and must have the permission of the Department.
