Where CCMB-2550 counts
Required by 1 program:
- RT 4 YEAR BSc (RADIATION THERAPY)
Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 71 of 141 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.
Description
In this course we discuss the design and function of clinical equipment, basic principles of imaging modalities and criteria for use as they relate to radiation therapy. Practical reinforcements of principles are provided in a lab setting. The fundamental concepts of radiation biology are described at the cellular and patient levels. Students are introduced to theories of how radiation interacts with cells and tissues, what impact radiation has on organisms and the human body, and how to best achieve treatment goals.
Requisite courses
Admission to the Radiation Therapy Program, CCMB-2520 and PHYS-2503 [prerequisite(s)]; CCMB-2912 and CCMB-2913 (must be taken previously or at the same time as this course).
From the 2026-27 undergraduate calendar. Always verify details on WebAdvisor or with an academic advisor before registering.
