Cullen Boyle PhD
Radiation Biology in Therapeutic and Diagnostic Medical Physics
- Molecular and Cellular Radiation Biology
- Early deterministic effects and late deterministic & stochastic effects
- Dose limits for exposure to ionizing radiation
- Decay modes of particles and their utilization in diagnostics and radiation therapy
- Overview of a typical clinical workflow
Presentation Objectives:
- Understand pathways in which radiation interacts with matter, specifically biological tissue
- How radiation is used to target cancer cells and be able to explain the difference between deterministic and stochastic effects of radiation
- Demonstrate a basic understanding of different decay modes and how they are used clinically
- Gain an understanding of a typical workflow in a clinic from CT Sim to treatment
