RADTHER 110
Radiation Protection/Radiobiology
Guoqiang Cui
Description from DukeHub
An introduction to radiation biology. This course covers the biological effects of radiation, including mechanisms of DNA damage and normal tissue injury. The principal context is relevant to radiation therapy treatment. This course will also discuss the principles of radiation protection, dealing with major forms of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, the physics and chemistry of radiation biology, biological effects of ionizing and non-ionizing radiations (lasers, etc.) at cellular and tissue levels, radiation protection quantities and units, medical health-physics issues in clinical environments, radiation safety regulations, and basic problem-solving in radiation safety.
