Also presented are treatment units used in external radiation therapy, measurement and quality of ionizing radiation produced, absorbed dose measurement, dose distribution and scatter analysis. Progression Course: Yes
This course is designed to present basic concepts and principles of radiation biology. The interactions of radiation with cells, tissues and the body as a whole, and resultant biophysical events will be presented. Discussion of the theories and principles of tolerance dose, time-dose relationships, fractionation schemes and the relationship to the clinical practice of radiation therapy will be discussed, examined and evaluated. Progression Course: No Prerequisite Course(s): None
Content is designed to establish factors that influence and govern clinical planning of patient treatment. This encompasses isodose descriptions, patient contouring, radiobiologic considerations, dosimetric calculations, and tissue compensation. Optimal treatment planning is emphasized along with particle beams. Stereotactic and emerging technologies are presented. Progression Course: No
This course is designed to examine and evaluate the management of neoplastic disease using knowledge of arts and sciences while promoting critical thinking and ethical clinical decision-making. The radiation therapist’s responsibility in the management of neoplastic disease will be examined and linked to the skills required to analyze complex issues and make informed decisions while appreciating the character of the profession. Progression Course: No 115
The clinical practice content is designed to provide sequential development of patient care and procedural information specific to radiation therapy. Through structured sequential assignments in clinical facilities, radiation therapy students are developing competence in team practice, patient-centered clinical practice and professional development. Students will be evaluated for proficiency by rotation evaluations and competency progression. Progression Course: No
Content is designed to reinforce factors influencing clinical planning of patient treatment per anatomical area being treated. Students will be required to synthesize concepts related to treatment planning learned in RTT 1530 Treatment Planning I and apply those theories to the study of various anatomical sites. Evaluation of comprehension will be demonstrated by a group project detailing the treatment planning process from image acquisition during simulation through the onset of radiation therapy treatment. Progression Course: No
