Course Discription |
:
This course aims to study the phenomenon of radioactivity and radioactive decay. It discusses the interactions between charged particles as well as neutrons with matter and identifies the types of radiation and particles resulting from the radioactive decay and their medical uses, and introduces students to the devices of medical imaging that uses these rays and particles such as (Gamma Camera, SPECT, PET, PET- CT). In addition, this course introduces students to the process of radiation detection and explains the different types of detectors (gaseous and scintillation). Finally, the production and medical use of radionuclides will also be explained |
