- Synopsis:
-
The main goal is to give review of the technology for radiotherapy with accent on the basic physical principles, technology structure, parameters and application specifics in clinical practice. Students will able to consider of the application of the selected devices for selected purpose in clinical practice.
- Requirements:
-
Active participation in seminars, including home preparation, required 100% attendance at seminars, absence can be excused only for serious and documented reasons for agreement with the exercises. The method of compensation shall exercise teacher. Credit will be awarded for essay submission, which will be acceptable practice leader.
The test will consist of written part of the contents of lectures, exercises and given a separate study. In the test, the student may use literature, Internet, mobile phone or consult with other students. The oral part is only in the case of an ambiguous assessment test or if the student wants to get better ranking trademark.
The written exam portion of the combined test is:
- ABC-type answers (possibly more correct answers) - correctly answered question 1 point
- The answer when it is necessary to respond in writing (very important issues) - 5 points
Students can reach the maximum number of 80 points, with the successful passing of the examination is necessary to reach 60 points (75%) and more.
Rating ECTS:
A good 100-90 (excellent)
B 89-80 very good (very good)
C 79-70 well (good)
D 69-60 satisfactory (satisfactory)
E 59-50 enough (sufficient)
F 49-0 failed (failed)
