Radiation: Applications

1.3K
The average temperature of Earth is the subject of much current discussion. Earth is in radiative contact with both the Sun and dark space; it receives almost all its energy from the radiation of the Sun and reflects some of it into outer space. Dark space is very cold, about 3 K, so Earth radiates energy into it. For instance, heat transfer occurs from soil and grasses, the rate of which can be so rapid that frost can occur on clear summer evenings, even in warm latitudes.
The average...

Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.
Foundations of Community Mental Health Programs
Central to the success of community-based interventions is the...

Positron Emission Tomography01:29

Positron Emission Tomography

6.2K
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

2.3K
A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

1.8K
The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

Radiation Pressure: Problem Solving01:09

Radiation Pressure: Problem Solving

504
The radiation pressure applied by an electromagnetic wave on a perfectly absorbing surface equals the energy density of the wave. The wave's momentum also gets transferred to the surface when an electromagnetic wave is entirely absorbed by it. The rate at which momentum is transmitted to an absorbing surface perpendicular to the propagation direction equals the force on the surface.
The average value of the rate of momentum transfer divided by the absorbing area represents the average force...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • STEM Education

Background:

  • Underrepresented minorities (URMs) face higher attrition rates in STEM fields compared to their non-URM peers.
  • Informal educational outreach is recognized as a strategy to boost URM awareness and enrollment in STEM disciplines.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the racial and ethnic diversity within the field of medical physics.
  • To establish a community-centered framework for developing impactful outreach programs targeting K-12 URM students and their families.

Main Methods:

  • Analyzed self-reported racial and ethnic data from American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) members to determine URM representation.
  • Implemented outreach events at a university department and community institutions, featuring hands-on activities and presentations on medical physics topics.
  • Surveyed high school students on their awareness of medical physics and interest in STEM coursework and careers post-event.

Main Results:

  • URM members constituted an average of 10.7% of AAPM from 2014-2020.
  • 42 outreach events reached over 1900 participants between 2016-2020.
  • A majority of participants reported increased interest in medical careers (65.4%) and pursuing STEM courses (73.1%) after attending home events.

Conclusions:

  • The developed medical physics outreach program effectively enhances awareness and interest, particularly among underrepresented groups.
  • This work provides a valuable framework for creating and executing effective, community-engaged medical physics outreach initiatives.
