Dear Colleagues: I hope some members of this list server will be interested
in the following workshop. Please call it to the attention of your
colleagues who are not on the list server. It will be similar to the
workshop we put on at the U. of Wisconsin about 20 years ago. We hope that
the talks will be published as a book suitable for physics teachers. See
the web page for more details. Best wishes, John

This three day workshop is aimed physics teachers in universities,
colleges and high schools.
It will also be useful to physics and engineering students who are
considering careers in medical physics or biomedical engineering. The
course will present a comprehensive introduction to the physics principles
of diagnostic radiology and fluoroscopy, computerized tomography, digital
radiology, nuclear medicine (including PET), ultrasound in medicine,
magnetic resonance imaging, magnetoencephalography, radiation dosimetry
and radiation therapy.
Lectures, demonstrations, and tours of UW Hospitals and clinics will
acquaint participants with state-of-the- art medical instrumenation. Most
of the lectures will be given by faculty of
the UW Department of Medical Physics. Paricipants who have their own
laboratory demonstrations or teaching modules involving medical physics are
encouraged to describe them during one of the open forums during the
workshop.
