The Department of Physics & Astronomy is pleased to welcome two faculty from the IU South Bend Vera Z. Dwyer College of Health Sciences as the latest speakers in our “Careers in Physics” series.
Professors Maryann Oake and Rory Langton will speak about the use of X-rays in medical diagnostics — a core component of medical physics. Professors Oake and Langton are both part of our Radiography and Medical Imaging Technology Programs and teach courses that make practical use of physics in healthcare.
This is one of many great career paths related to physics.
Title: X-Ray Production and Interactions
Abstract:
Since the discovery of x-rays in 1895, medical imaging professionals can now get a detailed look inside of the human body. Throughout the years, equipment manufacturers have been able to reduce radiation dose to the patient while also improving image quality. Electronics and equipment design play a significant role in the production of x-rays. We will discuss x-ray circuitry, x-ray production, and x-ray interactions.
