Learning unit contents
Radiobiology 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 For further information: short bibliography and reference books
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
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.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Physics and Biology courses.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
The part of the course devoted to radioprotection is given by Mrs. Pirlet and follows the radiobiology part (2h by Mrs. Humblet and 2h by Mr Martinive)
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
lessons on line
written exam in presentiel(open question and multiple choice question. (remotely via e-campus if health conditions oblige me to do so)
Recommended or required readings
Slides made available to students. (myUliege and/or e-campus)
Assessment methods and criteria
Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.
Any session :
- In-person
written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire, open-ended questions )
- Remote
written exam
- If evaluation in "hybrid"
preferred in-person
Additional information:
Questions with short answers and multiple choice questions.
