This module develops further the physics concepts introduced in the first semester physics module (RADT110) with specific focus on the clinical application of these concepts. The module will cover physical principles, key components, design, safe use of and clinical application of radiotherapy equipment for localisation, planning and treatment delivery of both radical and palliative pathways. Module learning outcomes are assessed using a written unseen exam.
A combination of lectures and e-lectures will focus on the physical principles, key components, design and safe use of radiotherapy equipment in the localisation, planning and delivery of treatment. The module will start with lectures and e-lectures to inform new knowledge and will be supplemented by tutorials, practicals and seminars to consolidate learning.
Learners will complete a 150-minute written examination within the university assessment period which will include multiple choice, short and long answer questions
