Topics and Learning Outcomes
Radiochemistry
recognise nuclear reactions, including the major spontaneous decay mechanisms. define and distinguish between nucleons, nuclides and isotopes, X-rays & gamma rays, decay series and daughter isotopes. balance nuclear reactions recognise stable and unstable nuclides predict the decay mechanism for an unstable isotope explain the main factors that contributes to effective radiation dose, including penetrating power, activity and energy explain the main mechanism of biological damage by ionizing radiation. explain the use of radioactive isotopes in medical imaging, and distinguish the information obtained from X-rays explain how isotope generators produce isotopes such as 99m Tc for medical imaging, and give some examples of its use. explain PET, the generation of radioisotopes by a cyclotron, and know the kinds of isotopes produced
