RADT2000 — Radiation Biology and Protection
RADT 2000 - Radiation Biology and Protection RADT 2000 - Radiation Biology and Protection Hours/Week: Lecture 1 Lab 0 Course Description: The course is an introduction to the science of molecular and cellular radiobiology including the early and late effects of radiation. Federal and State radiation guidelines are reviewed and also all methods of minimizing radiation exposure. This course requires students to be concurrently enrolled in RADT 1782 . MnTC Goals None List the biologic and physical factors affecting radiation response. Create a radiation dose response relationship based on given facts. Identify the chemical reactions involved in water radiolysis. Explain the effects of radiation and major macromolecules and DNA. Predict the probability of early and late effects of radiation based on given radiation doses. Identify the risks of low dose radiation to fertility and pregnancy. State the Federal and State radiation guidelines relative to both diagnostic and fluoroscopic equipment. Apply ALARA principles to patient and occupational radiation safety. Summarize the radiosensitivity of various human tissues and organs. Differentiate between the processes of meiosis and mitosis. Summarize the types of occupational dosimeters.
