一、課程說明(Course Desc<x>ription)
<br>This course is designed to deal with radiation therapy physics with emphasis on the 
<br>practical details. This course provides both basic radiation physics and physical 
<br>aspects of dosimetry treatment planning, using photon beams, electron beams, and 
<br>brachytherapy sources, additionally, the theory of absorbed dose measurements, the 
<br>radiotherapy technologies.
