Radiation for Diagnosis and Treatment

• November 14, 2024 – 5:30 PM–8:00 PM
• Bergen Science Center ASWe live in a radiant time – we are surrounded by radiation at home, at work, and in nature. How is radiation used to make medical diagnoses and to treat patients?Radiation is diverse – and is simply divided into ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. The latter is low-energy and surrounds us as thermal radiation (lasers, IR rays), radio waves, magnetic and electric fields, as well as UV rays from the sun. Ionizing radiation has high energy and can have greater effects on its surroundings. This themed evening is dedicated to ionizing radiation used in medicine today, both for making accurate diagnoses and for treatment.We will hear about the basic principles behind the methods, which patient groups are relevant, and future prospects within the fields. This event is for both professionals and the general Tekna member who is interested in how science and technology can be used for the benefit of patients.

  This event is a collaboration between the professional council in Tekna Bergen department, the Tekna Health and Technology group, and NTVA Bergen.
