- "Health physics, also referred to as the science of radiation protection, is the profession devoted to protecting people and their environment from potential radiation hazards, while making it possible to enjoy the beneficial uses of radiation."
The study of the properties and behavior of radiation.
Radiation and matter: The interaction of radiation with matter, including types of radiation and their penetration through materials.
Radiation detection and measurement: The principles and types of radiation detectors used in radiology, including their sensitivity, accuracy, and limitations.
Radioactivity and decay modes: The concept of radioactivity, different decay modes, and how radioactive decay can be used in medical imaging.
Radiation safety and protection: The principles of radiation protection including dose limits, time, distance, and shielding.
Radiographic imaging: The principles of radiographic imaging using x-rays, including image formation, contrast, resolution, and artifacts.
Fluoroscopy: The principles of fluoroscopy imaging, including image formation, contrast, and radiation exposure.
Computed tomography (CT): The principles of CT imaging, including image formation, contrast, resolution, and radiation exposure.
Nuclear medicine: The principles of nuclear medicine imaging, including radionuclide production, radiopharmaceuticals, and different imaging modalities.
Radiation therapy: The principles of radiation therapy, including dose calculation, treatment planning, and delivery techniques.
Molecular imaging: The principles of molecular imaging, including the use of targeted contrast agents and modern imaging techniques such as PET/CT and SPECT/CT.
Image-guided interventions: The principles of image-guided interventions using different imaging modalities, such as ultrasound, CT, and MRI.
Quality control and assurance: The principles of quality control and assurance in radiology, including equipment maintenance, calibration, and image quality assessment.
Regulatory requirements and standards: Overview of regulatory requirements and standards in radiology including state and federal regulations, accreditation bodies.
E-learning platforms: Various digital resources available for online learning that would cover different topics related to radiation physics, radiology or medical imaging.
X-ray Imaging: A commonly used diagnostic tool that uses X-rays to create images of the body's internal structures. X-rays are high-energy electromagnetic waves that pass through the body and are absorbed by the different types of tissue, creating an image.
Computed Tomography (CT): A type of imaging that uses X-rays and computer technology to create detailed images of the body. CT scans produce cross-sectional images and can be used to detect tumors, fractures, and other abnormalities.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): A non-invasive imaging technique that uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the body. MRI can be used to detect abnormalities in soft tissues such as the brain, spinal cord, and other organs.
Nuclear Medicine: A diagnostic imaging technique that uses radioactive substances to visualize the body's organs and structures. Nuclear medicine scans can detect and monitor disease and can be used to guide treatment.
Radiation Therapy: A treatment technique that uses high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells. Radiation therapy can be used to treat cancer in various parts of the body and can be delivered externally or internally.
Interventional Radiology: A minimally invasive procedure that uses imaging technology (such as X-rays or ultrasound) to guide instruments and treat certain diseases.
