Outline and Purpose of the Course	Medical physics is the general term for the physics and technology which are supporting radiation diagnosis and therapy, and particle therapy. As it covers many different fields, the important subjects are “promotion for the advance of radiation therapy” and “quality assurance for radiation therapy”. The scope of this course is to learn the fundamental knowledge for radiation medical physics. Especially, the focus is put on the understanding for (1) the bases of physics, biology and so on for radiation, (2) the physics for the radiations applied to diagnosis, (3) the characteristics of radiations and particle beams applied to therapy, and (4) the quality assurance and so on for radiation diagnosis and therapy.
Course Goals	To learn the fundamental knowledge of medical physics, mainly for radiation physics in diagnosis and therapy
