| Lecturer : | Chantal Humblet, Philippe Martinive |
|
Language(s) of instruction :

Course contents :
|
| Radiobiology is the study of radiations on the living matter. The goal of this course is to provide the scientific elements at the basis of radioprotection. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| 1) to provide the scientific elements which explain the effects of radiations
2) to describe quantitatively the effects of radiations
3) to evaluate the risks and benefits of (non) ionizing radiations
4) to correlate radiobiology and radioprotection
5) to correlate radiobiology with therapeutic procedures after an accidental irradiation
6) to confer expertise for the use of radiations in medicine
7) to compare radiations and other deleterious agents in the environment |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| The radiobiology is the study of 2 partners, radiations and living organisms. It is therefore necessary to have basic notions of physics and biology. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| Combination of ex-cathedra lessons and personal research. |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| Copies of slides shown during the lessons and review articles. |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| Written exam with opened questions and with QCM. |
