Imaging and Radiotherapy techniques

Introduction & measurement: SI, significant figures, instruments, errors; scalars/vectors. Mechanics: kinematics (uniform/accelerated, circular), dynamics (three laws), work‑energy, conservative forces and friction, power. Fluids: density/pressure; Pascal, Stevin, Torricelli, Archimedes; continuity and Bernoulli. Thermology/thermodynamics: scales, heat and capacity, conduction/convection/radiation, phase changes, gas laws. Electricity/electromagnetism: atom, Coulomb, field/potential, current‑resistance‑Ohm, series/parallel, power and Joule heating; magnetic field and EM phenomena; applications: pacemaker, ECG, EEG, MRI. Physics of radiation: radioactivity and decay, interactions with matter, basic dosimetry; X/γ rays and isotopes in imaging/radiotherapy.
