Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the student acquired knowledge on ionizing radiations from a physical point of view and in particular: what they are, where they originate from, how they interact with the subject
Course contents
Background on radiation - Electromagnetic waves - Ionizing radiation - Interactions with matter - Attenuation - Dosimetry - External and internal irradiation - Distribution of ionizations - Radiobiology (biological effects, radiosensitivity, stochastic and non-stochastic damage) - Radiation protection (legislative sources, principles, exposure limits, work areas, classification of workers, pregnancy)
Readings/Bibliography
The teaching material relating to the injuries carried out is available, updated, on the IOL - University of Bologna platform, with limited access to university students.
To complete the program, the Ionizing Radiation Protection Manual - Policlinico S.Orsola-Malpighi Hospital, Health Physics Service - August 2011, version 3 is available on the same website.
Teaching methods
Frontal lessons with PPT slides
Assessment methods
The verification takes place through a final written exam aimed at ascertaining the knowledge and skills acquired. The test includes a series of multiple choice questions, not less than 12, diversified for each topic of the program and periodically updated.
The mark reported in the single course module is averaged (weighted average by number of ECTS) with the partial marks obtained in the other modules of the integrated course.
The outcome of the on-going test of the single module will be valid for the academic year of the test itself.
