Seminars

All modules in the series are designed for staff that use or are exposed to x-ray radiation in their daily work. It is important to learn first how radiation interacts with material, before biological theories can be developed.

 

For some this presentation will act as a review, for many these will be new material. There is a lack of such training in professional education. Also, x-ray applications, radiation biology, radiation protection and radiation limits have changed as we learn more about risk factors involved.

 

This course consists of slides, notes and narration. The narration covers the material that is mostly on the slides. They can be heard by selecting the loudspeaker icon when each slide is displayed.

 

The notes explain principles in more detail or deal with associated material.

 

Our present knowledge, as expressed in this lecture, is by no means complete, but it is sufficient to act as a guide. An understanding of x-ray radiation interactions, and  its ramifications is mandatory for physicians and others who use x-rays, either directly or indirectly, in their practice.
