Bridging Physics for Medical Radiation Sciences - PDM1200

The primary purpose of this unit is to provide students who may have insufficient physics background, or those who have not studied physics for some time, with sufficient knowledge of basic physics to enable them to undertake studies in the graduate medical ultrasound and radiation therapy programs. The content is general physics and where appropriate, examples are drawn from applications in medical imaging or medical radiations.
