- Abstract
This enhanced knowledge includes the principal concepts for each DI modality: projection X-ray imaging (radiography, mammography, and fluoroscopy), volumetric X-ray imaging (CT, cone-beam CT, and tomosynthesis), ultrasound imaging (echo and transmission 2D, 3D, and Doppler imaging), MRI (MRI methods and spectroscopy), and information technology (picture archive and communication system [PACS], displays, EMR, and safety and quality monitoring). TOPICAL DISCUSSION Core topics Radiological physics and dosimetry An understanding of the structure of matter and the manner in which ionizing radiation interacts with it is critical to the application of radiation to imaging, nuclear medicine (NM), RT, and health physics. These topics should be presented in a cohesive and consistent manner, not distributed among subspecialty applications such as RT physics, imaging physics, radiation protection and safety, and NM. Fundamentals of radiation therapy physics RT is a foundational component of medical physics, with 2/3 of all cancer patients receiving RT and numerous applications for RT for nonmalignant conditions. The training of a DI physicist must also incorporate experiential knowledge gained through hands-on practical activities, as they pertain to optimal use of imaging technologies in the clinic, including quality assurance (QA), applications, and processes to customize a procedure to the patient.
