Radiobiology for Veterinarians
| Type: | C |
| Credit: | 4 |
| Time span: | 24 hours |
| Prerequisites: | Chemistry final exam, Biophysics final exam |
| Lecturer: | Dr Lajos Balogh, National Center of Health, National F.J.C.' Research Institute for Radiobiology and Radiohygiene |
| Summary: | Our aim is to provide students with radiobiological knowledge: mainly to explain how different types of radiation affect living organisms, and give an overview of theoretical and practical application of radiological methods in human and veterinary medicine and in agriculture. We hope that this course will be useful in itself, furthermore it will serve as a basis for another specialization course we plan to teach with the following title: Veterinary Nuclear Medicine. |
| Topics: |
Introduction, basic concepts, historical events, veterinary references Natural and artificial sources of radiation Biological effects and their connection with dose Stochastic, deterministic effects, local radiation injuries Radiation-caused neoplasma formation Environmental radiobiology Agricultural application of radiation Radiosterilization Radiation danger in veterinary practice Radiation protection. Referring Hungarian and EU legal regulations. Personal protection Biological effects of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation |
| Practical course: | Visiting a Veterinary Nuclear Medicine laboratory at the National Research Institute for Radiobiology and Radiohygiene. |
| Examination: | written test |
| Grading: | Marks from 1 to 5 |
