Other Course Description or Assignment Information: 
Medical physics is a rapidly developing science field where the strong interference of physics, biology and medicine has a large and growing impact on our health care system. This course gives an overview about the physics foundations and recent technical developments of medical imaging and medical treatment techniques . A special emphasize is put on accelerator-based cancer therapy which revolutionizes the way cancer can be cured through special isotope production, hadron therapy and targeted radiation treatments. Topics include: Imaging: •General image characteristics and image reconstruction •X-ray detection and X-ray radiography •Computed tomography •Planar scintigraphy, SPECT •PET and PET/CT •MRI Treatment: •Cancer Treatment using photons and electrons •Foundations of hadron cancer therapy •Particle accelerators and nuclear reactions •Production of radioisotopes using ISOL •Targeted radiation cancer therapy Textbook:N. Smith, A. Webb: Introduction to Medical Imaging, Cambridge Univ. Press 2010. There is no single textbook which covers the complete course.
