Clinical Physics

This module covered the basics of x-ray imaging and dosimetry. I have created some presentations to aid learning some of the basics of clinical physics, and these are found below.

A page on the decay of cobalt-60 which I learned about because of its use in older linear accelerators

I had to give a ten minute oral presentation about a professional group
Health Professionals Council

These three presentations I prepared in order to learn about each particular topic.

This presentation deals with directly and indirectly ionising radiation, and the processes by which radiation is created.
