Overview
Medical Physics with Radiobiology's aim is to discuss how ionising and non-ionising radiation are used in clinical practice, both in the context of radiotherapy and medical imaging. This is combined with principles of radiobiology at molecular and cellular level, to give graduates a better understanding of the effects of radiation than is achieved in other medical physics courses.
Modules one to four are delivered in Michaelmas term and build a picture of the biological responses to radiation from the sub-atomic level through to the effects on whole tissues, in both tumours and normal tissue, and will link this to radiation protection requirements for both patients and workers.
Modules five to eight are delivered in Hilary term and cover the application of physics in clinical practice across both imaging and radiotherapy. This will include discussion of new and emerging modalities and how these approaches are translated from the lab into clinical practice.
Changes to this course and your supervision
The University of Oxford will seek to deliver this course in accordance with the description set out in this course page. However, there may be situations in which it is desirable or necessary for the University to make changes in course provision, either before or after registration. The safety of students, staff and visitors is paramount and major changes to delivery or services may have to be made in circumstances of a pandemic, epidemic or local health emergency. In addition, in certain circumstances, for example due to visa difficulties or because the health needs of students cannot be met, it may be necessary to make adjustments to course requirements for international study.
