<br>一、課程說明(Course Desc<x>ription)
<br>本課程藉由深入討論輻射劑量的定義及放射線與物質作用與劑量的關係，建立學生輻射劑量學的基本知識，並為
<br>有意從事 保健物理或醫學物理專業領域研究者奠定穩固基礎。
<br>The aim of this course is to establish the fundamental knowledge of radiation 
<br>dosimetry for students, and to lay a solid foundation for researchers who are 
<br>interested in the fields of health physics or medical physics. The course provides 
<br>an in-depth discussion on the definition of radiation dose and the interaction 
<br>between radiation and materials, also the relationship between radiation effects 
<br>and radiation dose.
