Purpose and description of the content of education:
During laboratory classes, the student: Performs advanced dosimetric measurements using a wide range of dosimetry equipment, such as an ionization chamber with an electrometer, a radiometer with a GM counter, a scintillation probe, and thermoluminescent detectors. Investigates spatial dose distributions around X-ray and various types of nuclear radiation sources. Learns to arrange potential radiological situations and analyze associated hazards. Learns to perform measurements in clinical dosimetry and analyze the results in terms of beam quality, such as TPR (tissue phantom ratio). Learns to use various types of phantoms in dosimetric work. Learns the fundamentals of neutron activation analysis. As part of their independent work, the student: Based on the bibliography provided in the laboratory exercise instructions and additional literature (including lecture notes from previous semesters), prepares for discussions during the preliminary colloquium before the practical part of the laboratory classes. Creates a written report on the arranged/investigated radiological situation.
