▶ Watch the 2-minute preview above.
WHAT’S COVERED (34 step-through scenes)
3.1 External source –
• X-ray radiotherapy: how radiation kills cancer cells; the linac and multileaf collimator; crossfire beams; fractionation; safety and professionals
• Gamma Knife: cobalt-60 beams meeting at one target; uses, contraindications and latency
• UV skin treatment: where UV sits on the ionising boundary; penetration; psoriasis, eczema and vitiligo; safety
• Proton beam therapy: the cyclotron and the Bragg peak; penetration and energy compared with X-rays and gamma; who it suits
3.2 Internal source –
• Radionuclide therapy: iodine-131 and the thyroid; SIRT with yttrium-90; contact restrictions and safety
• Brachytherapy: LDR seeds and HDR afterloading; the inverse square law; choosing internal vs external therapy; safety and professionals
INTERACTIVE FEATURES
• Crossfire – add beams and watch the tumour dose build while sparing the spinal cord
• Fractionation – healthy cells repair between doses, cancer cells don’t
• Depth–dose graph – drag the tumour depth and compare X-ray, gamma and proton curves
• Inverse square law slider
• Choose-the-therapy patient activity (seven patients)
• Quick-check quiz for every technique (click to answer, instant feedback)
• Pop-up glossary – click any key word
• Advantages and disadvantages for every technique
• End-of-topic comparison table and recap with further-reading links

OCR AAQ Applied Science F186 Medical Physics: Complete Lesson Bundle
Everything you need to teach Unit F186 Medical Physics for the OCR Level 3 Cambridge Advanced National in Applied Science (H151). This bundle contains five PowerPoints, one for each topic area in the specification. They were written by a Head of Science who teaches this unit, for classes that benefit from scaffolding, real-world context and clear step-by-step explanations. . **What’s included** * Topic 1: Application of NON-IONISING DIAGNOSIS techniques * Topic 2: Application of IONISING DIAGNOSIS techniques * Topic 3: Application of IONISING THERAPY techniques * Topic 4: Application of NON-IONISING THERAPY techniques * Topic 5: PLANNING for diagnosis and therapy . Each PowerPoint includes . Learning objectives and the matching specification points A starter activity Clear, animated explanations of the content Advantages and disadvantages tables Sample patient case studies Summary and recall questions Homework tasks and further resources, with clickable links Teacher notes on the activity slides . Why buy the bundle? . It covers all five topic areas, so you can plan the whole unit around it. Every topic uses the same layout, which makes lessons easy to follow for students and easy to deliver for you. It is 16:9 PowerPoint, so you can adapt it for your own class. . **Also included: interactive animations** Teach the key ideas visually with my F186 Medical Physics interactive animations. Each one is a standalone file that runs in your browser. It needs no installation or internet connection, and it works on any classroom laptop/computer (not iPad). . * F186 Medical Physics Topic Area 1 Interactive Animation * F186 Medical Physics Topic Area 2 Interactive Animation * F186 Medical Physics Topic Area 3 Interactive Animation * F186 Medical Physics Topic Area 4 Interactive Animation .
