  1. History of Radiological Science

  2. What is Radiation? • Propagation of energy through matter or space in the form of • Particles (e-, β±, proton, α, neutron, etc.) or • Photons(X-ray, γ-ray, synchrotron light, etc.) e- 6 MeV hν 6 MV

  3. Types of Radiation Directly ionizing (charged particle) direct Coulomb interaction with orbital e- of atoms Ionizing Indirectly ionizing (neutral particle) 1st: release charged particle (photon > e-, e+, neutron > proton or heavier ions) 2nd: direct Coulomb interaction between released charged particle and orbital e- of atoms Radiation heat, radio- or microwaves, or visible, infrared, or ultraviolet light Non-ionizing

  4. Energy Absorbed into Body CT Scan Sauna Body temperature rise from 36.4 C° to 36.5 C° 0.1 C° × 4.184 J/ C°/g = 418.4 J/kg ≠ 418.4 Gy One chest CT scan 30 mGy = 30 × 10-3 J/kg = 0.03 J/kg = 0.03 Gy

  5. What is Radioactivity? • Radiation emissions as the result of the spontaneous transmutation of one element to another (element or state)

  6. Discovery of Radiation On the evening of November 8, 1895

  7. Discovery of Radioactivity February 26, 1896

  8. X-ray quickly in clinical use A woman (50 yrs) with recurrent breast cancer 18 daily 1-hour irradiation Imaging: 1896 – Mihajlo I. Pupin in New York City Therapy: 1896- Emil H. Grubbé in Chicago
