The core subject of involves understanding how ionizing radiation (such as photons, neutrons, and charged particles) interacts with matter and living tissue when the source is outside the body.
: Measuring the impact of radiation requires specific units: Absorbed Dose (mGy) : The energy deposited in tissue. Applied Physics of External Radiation Exposure:...
: Identifying and quantifying the "source term"—the type and intensity of radiation emitted by a device or material. Key Areas of Application The core subject of involves understanding how ionizing
