Concentrating on the underlying principles of radiation physics, the textbook covers the prerequisite knowledge for medical physics courses on the graduate and post-graduate levels in radiotherapy physics, radiation dosimetry, imaging physics, and health physics, thus providing the link between elementary undergraduate physics and the intricacies of four medical physics specialties: diagnostic radiology physics, nuclear medicine physics, radiation oncology physics, and health physics. To recognize the importance of radiation dosimetry to medical physics three new chapters have been added to the 14 chapters of the previous edition. Chapter 15 provides a general introduction to radiation dosimetry. Chapter 16 deals with absolute radiation dosimetry systems that establish absorbed dose or some other dose related quantity directly from the signal measured by the dosimeter. Three absolute dosimetry techniques are known and described in detail: (i) calorimetric; (i | 出版日期 | Textbook 2016Latest edition | 关键词 | Biomedical Engineering; Imaging Physics; Ionizing Radiation in Medicine; Medical Radiation Physics; Nucl | 版次 | 3 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-25382-4 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-79781-6 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-25382-4Series ISSN 1868-4513 Series E-ISSN 1868-4521 | issn_series | 1868-4513 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
