This is the second part of a two-semester Medical Physics course. The course provides an overview of the physical principles and instrumentation of the major medical imaging modalities including projection radiography, and computed tomography. In addition the course will present a general prospective on use of radiation in cancer treatment including discussions on basic conventional radiotherapy, advanced image guided radiotherapy and treatment planning. Prerequisite: PHYS 4430.
