3.00 Credits
In this course students examine dosimetry concepts, dose calculations, isodose distributions, field parameters and fractionation schedules for treatment delivery. Treatment planning techniques and approaches for various anatomical structures are investigated. Dosimetry concepts and fractionation schedules are applied in multiple scenarios to demonstrate maximum efficiency for tumor control outcomes. Tolerance doses of organs at risk (OARs) are examined and planning strategies are evaluated to minimize tissue consequences. This course requires a per credit health career fee; check the tuition and fee schedule for the current rate.
