Download Course Catalogue
 
INTRODUCTION
X-rays has been extensively used in the industries and medicals since its discovery. As time goes new technology adds many new application oriented findings, which are the findings of the dedicated researchers all over the globe. Since we are now in the era of advanced technology, it is felt that, the users those who directly involved in contributing substantially in controlling the quality of the materials produced from the industries or the experts who diagnose the diseases using those techniques, should be educated enough to take advantage of these newly developed techniques. Keeping that in view, this short term course has been designed to educate personnel from industries, hospitals, institutes, universities and R&D organizations.
 
SCOPE OF THE COURSE
The course has been structured to blend the fundamental concepts and methodologies with advanced innovative techniques for upgrading the knowledge of the personalities responsible for controlling the quality of life and materials. The most advanced techniques like XRD[both qualitative and quantitative analysis(including REITVELD analysis)], SAXS, GISAXS, PIXE, EDX, radiography, radiotherapy, CT scanning etc. are included in the course with special emphasis on industrial and medical applications. Besides class room teaching there are also laboratory demonstrations and on site demonstrations are the important features of the course.
It is expected that the participants from academic institutions, R&D organizations as well as professional engineers will be highly benefited by the course.
