About

About the course

Course content

The course is given every 3 years, next time concentrated to two separate weeks in the spring of 2011. Main elements of the course are: Fundamental entities in dosimetry (absorbed dose, kerma, energy imparted etc), cavity theories, charged particle equilibrium, dosimetry at boundaries, transport theory, microdosimetry, neutron dosimetry, internal dosimetry, personal dosimetry, applied dosimetry in radiation-based medical diagnostics and therapy.

Learning outcome

Students learn the theoretical basis of dosimetry of ionizing radiation, as well as applications of dosimetry for radiation therapy and for risk assessment of radiation exposure of humans.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures and problem solving sessions.
