PHYS 165 - Physics of Medical Imaging & Radiation

Credits: 3 Total Hours: 90

In this course, students examine the interactions of physical phenomena to understand the fundamental principles of radiation used for imaging and therapy. Students explore the differences between various imaging modalities such as sonography, conventional x-ray, computed tomography, nuclear imaging, and magnetic resonance imaging. Students experiment with theoretical knowledge during laboratory activities and examine the practical applications of medical imaging physics.
