Chuck, Good question. I’ll check around. If I hear of such a course, I will certainly post the info. In the meanwhile, you can always start your prep with a good text. Check out “Physics in Nuclear Medicine” by Simon Cherry et al.

I am wondering if there is a good review course for parts 1 and 2 of ABR exam with a concentration in nuclear medicine. I am taking the exam August 2010 and could use a refresher.

Hey everyone, I am trying to figure out what I should be studying to get ready for part one of the Radiation Oncology Physics test next year. Do you have any suggestions? I know part one is more general than part 2 and thats what concerns me.
any info would be appreciated.
thanks
Blair

You are correct Jens. These are typical ABR therapy questions (2nd part written). Generally part 1 of the ABR exam covers some basic (elementary) topics on nuclear medicine, diagnostic physics, therapy physics, radiation safety, shielding, instrumentation and biology. Hope we get some sample questions for part 1 and part 2 of diagnostic physics in this blog. The questions seem challenging ones!

This is good practice questions. However, they seem quite focused on therapeutic radiology (radiation therapy) which makes me wonder if the questions are for part 2 exam and not the general physics (part 1) exam. Does anyone know?
