RAD.3280 Radiation Biology
This course provides the student with the knowledge necessary to understand the principles of radiation biology which underlie the theory and methodology of radiation protection. Specific topics to be addressed include cellular anatomy and physiology as well as the cellular effects of radiation. Students will be instructed on both the short- and long-term biological effects of radiation with an emphasis on means to keep radiation exposure to patients, personnel, and the community at large to a minimum.
