Seminars in
MEDICAL PHYSICS is the application of the concepts and methods of physics to the diagnosis and treatment of human disease. As you can see from the current and past schedules, medical physicists come from many fields including radiology, BME, physics, radiation safety, radiation oncology, etc. This seminar series has been running every semester since Fall 2000.
Students: During fall 2005, the seminar is offered as MPH 251 and cross-listed as BME 251.
The course is co-instructed by Ehsan Samei and Joseph Lo of the Duke Advanced Imaging Labs (DAILabs) and Medical Physics Graduate Program. We meet 1 hour per week for a lecture. Grading will be based on weekly take-home quizzes as well as attendance and participation in discussion. The course is worth 1 credit hour for graduate/professional students only. (Due to registrar policies, we are not able to offer this course to undergraduates.) We welcome everybody to sit in since we have an auditorium that seats 100.
This website is the most up-to-date source of information and supercedes anything sent previously by email or hardcopy. As the semester progresses, additional information will also be posted via the Blackboard site for registered students.
For more information, please email Joseph Lo.
