Introduction to medical radiation physics

This file is part of the content downloaded from Introduction to medical radiation physics.

General information

Exercises are integrated in the lecture. Any questions on a specific lecture should be sent to the corresponding lecturer, see contact email for each week.

As stated in the course booklet, the exam will be written. It will have two parts: multiple choice questions of the type A and K' (see "MCQ Type" PDF below), and open questions.

Following your feedback for your need to have the slides to annotate them, we will try to give you the slides the day before the course. If not possible, before starting the lecture, the lecturer will be asked to PDF their slides and they will be put on Moodle.

If you have any further logistics comments, don't hesitate to tell me (Laura, front row usually first seat when you come in) and I will discuss them with the lecturing team.
