Principles of Radiation Interactions
22.55J · Health Sciences and Technology, Nuclear Science and Engineering · Graduate · Fall 2004
Prof. Jeffrey Coderre
The central theme of this course is the interaction of radiation with biological material. The course is intended to provide a broad understanding of how different types of radiation deposit energy, including the creation and behavior of secondary radiations; of how radiation affects cells and why the different types of radiation have very different biological effects. Topics will include: the effects of radiation on biological systems including DNA damage; in vitro cell survival models; and in…
