Course contents :
|
| Radiology studies the impact of radiation on living material. From an educational point of view, it aims at providing the scientific bases for radiological protection measures and helping students not only to assess risks and benefits of radiation in the medical, research and industrial fields, but also to apply major health physics principles to other potentially noxious agents in the environment.
The course includes:
- Medical techniques using ionizing radiation and medical exposure risks
- Health physics principles: justification, optimization, dose limitations
- Radioactive radiation and contamination
- Health physics units
- Organization: prevention, monitoring, royal decree of 20/07/2001, review of regulatory provisions

|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| Medical use accounts for 98% of human radiation doses whereas industrial use only accounts for 2%.
It seems useful to make medicine students more aware of the radiological protection of staff, the general public and patients. |
|
