AHXR 225 - Radiobiology/Radiation Protection Credit(s): 3
Prerequisite(s): AHXR 116 . This course provides a comprehensive background on the interaction of x-radiation with matter, including biological effects at the molecular, cellular and organ system levels. Students are taught radiation protection to ensure safe use of x-rays during diagnostic imaging procedures, along with radiation quantities and units, monitoring methods, and regulatory limits for exposure. (Fall Semester)
Course Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of the course, students will be able to
- Implement radiation safety standards and regulations.
