RDTP 180B - Radiobiology Credits: 3 Description Content is designed to present basic concepts and principles of radiation biology. The interactions of radiation with cells, tissues and the body as a whole and resultant biophysical event will be presented. Discussion of the theories and principles of tolerance doses, time-dose relationships, treatment fractionation schemes and the relationship of the clinical practice of radiation therapy will be discussed, examined, and evaluated.
Student Learning Outcomes
- Explain the cell cycle and structure.
- Identify early radiation damage on a cellular level.
- Describe the cell survival curve and its components.
- List short- and long-term radiation damage to cells.
- Understand tissue dose (TD 5/5) and lethal dose (LD 50/5) of radiation damage to cells.
- List individual tissue tolerance.
- Discuss cellular damage and defects caused by radiation.
- Evaluate the use of beam modifiers pertaining to radiation reaction.
- Describe the maximum permissible dose (MPD).
