The objective of this course is to allow the student to understand and interprete the general health risks related to the different uses ionising radiation. Upon completion of this course, the student shall be able to estimate the general radiation risk related to an activity or given manipulation and to report on this risk, to identify the parts of the activity that are critical for the exposure and to propose the necessary means for protection. Furthermore, the student shall understand how the international regulations on radiation protection are created and shall know and understand the general content of the international (European) and national (Belgian) regulation.
