Faculty Name: Dr. Mayukh Pahari
Course Name: X-ray Physics with medical application
Course Period: 10 th Feb to 30 th Apr 2025 (Tuesday 11:00 AM to 11:55 AM; Wednesday 03:00 PM to 03:55 PM; Friday 10:00 AM to 10:55 AM)
Number of Credits: 2 credit
Course Contents:
This course will start with an introduction to X-rays and their properties, the production of X-rays, the working principle of X-ray radiation detectors, Basics of Radiation dosimetry: measurement of X-ray doses with free air ion chamber and parallel plate chamber, precise dose vs accurate dose, medical applications of X-rays: digital and computed radiography, CT scan techniques and physics: from first generation to modern day instruments, Mammography: device, techniques, working principle and physics.
What you'll learn: In this course, students will learn the physics and working principles of present-day medical devices that use X-rays for diagnosis and treatments: from simple X-ray scans of bones and teeth to complex CT scans, how to operate such devices and the science behind these devices. Such knowledge and skills are particularly important for radiologists, medical device and technique researchers, and instrument operators in Hospitals/medical institutes.
About the Instructor: Dr Pahari is a faculty in the Department of Physics at IIT Hyderabad and has 15 years of research experience in the field of X-ray and Gamma-ray physics, particularly in the field of Astronomy and Astrophysics. He is linked to X-ray and Gamma-ray instrumentation of ISRO’s space mission AstroSat. Dr Pahari has successfully taught the X-ray Physics course twice with 100 percent satisfactory feedback from students of both batches and many of them have successfully placed at esteemed institutes.
