Radiation Physics for Medical Physicists (3rd Ed., 3rd ed. 2016) Graduate Texts in Physics Series
Auteur : Podgorsak Ervin B.
The book is intended as a textbook for a radiation physics course in academic medical physics graduate programs as well as a reference book for candidates preparing for certification examinations in medical physics sub-specialties. It may also be of interest to many professionals, not only physicists, who in their daily occupations deal with various aspects of medical physics or radiation physics and have a need or desire to improve their understanding of radiation physics.
Ervin B. Podgorsak was born in Vienna, Austria and grew up in Ljubljana, Slovenia, where he completed his undergraduate studies in technical physics in 1968. He then continued his studies in the USA at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, and obtained M.SC. and Ph.D. degrees in physics. He accomplished his post-doctoral studies in medical physics at the University of Toronto in 1974 and moved to McGill University in Montréal where he currently holds positions of Professor of Medical Physics and Director of the Medical Physics department. He is author of various successful books.
Summarizes the basic knowledge of modern physics in general and radiation physics in particular required for safe and efficient work in areas where ionizing radiation is used for diagnosis or therapy of disease
Is recommended as an excellent textbook in book reviews
Serves as the missing link between undergraduate classical as well as modern physics and the intricacies of the medical physics sub-specialties
Same chapter and section layout as the "Compendium to Radiation Physics for Medical Physicists: 300 solved problems" (Springer 2014) and is cross-linked with this book in equation numbers, figure numbers, as well as table numbers
