Purpose and description of the content of education:
The module introduces students to the basic concepts of nuclear physics and their relation to medical research. Students gain knowledge about the structure of matter, the basic building blocks and interactions between them, as well as types of nuclear radiation, radioactive decay, interactions of radiation with matter, and the applications of these phenomena in medical diagnostics and therapy. Through lectures and practical laboratory classes, students develop analytical and practical skills relevant to medical research using nuclear physics.
