The staff responsible for the CT Scan Simulation and the treadmill gave the students the opportunity to understand the mechanism of selecting the layer thickness, adjusting the attenuation Coefficient, identifying technical parameters such as kVp and mAs and their direct role in image quality and radiation dose. The staff kindly explained how to give the therapeutic dose in the linear accelerator device to cancer patients in front of the students and learn how to calculate the dose and give it to patients. During the visit, it was also pointed out the importance of applying the ALARA principle to reduce the radiation dose, the use of bulletproof vests for workers and the use of bulletproof and concrete rooms to contain radiation.

We wish good luck, success and better opportunities to our young students.
