Thanks to this program in Radiophysics Applied to Radiotherapy, you will guarantee the maximum effectiveness of your treatments"

Radiophysics Applied to Radiotherapy focuses on the application of physical principles, such as the interaction of radiation with matter and dosimetry, to design treatment plans that maximize the dose to tumor tissue, while exposure to surrounding healthy tissues is minimized. This is why specialized radiophysicists are in such high demand, as they employ advanced technologies such as image-guided radiotherapy, to ensure accurate delivery of the prescribed dose.

This is how this postgraduate diploma was created, thanks to which the physician will deal with the interaction of ionizing radiation with biological tissues, the resulting cellular and biological effects, as well as the repair mechanisms and the evaluation of the relative biological efficiency of various ionizing radiations. In addition, this program will provide fundamental knowledge for clinical practice in external radiotherapy, highlighting the importance of radioprotection and the management of risks associated with these radiations.

Likewise, physical dosimetry, essential in external radiotherapy to characterize the radiation beams used in clinical treatments, will be delved into. Emphasis will also be placed on the quality assurance program, detailing the necessary controls on the equipment and the minimum requirements to ensure safe treatments consistent with the plans.

Another key component is clinical dosimetry, with particular emphasis on the use of computerized problem-solving tools. In addition, all stages of the radiotherapeutic process will be studied in detail, including simulation, treatment with linear electron accelerators, and dose verification for intensity-modulated therapies, where the intensity of the radiation beam is modulated to obtain non-homogeneous dose distributions.

In this way, TECH has developed a complete exhaustive system based on the innovative Relearning methodology, based on the repetition of fundamental ideas to ensure an optimal understanding of the content. Likewise, the graduate will only need an electronic device with an Internet connection to access all the resources.
