Kaul A. (Ed.) Fundamentals and Data in Radiobiology, Radiation Biophysics, Dosimetry and Medical Radiological Protection

Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 2012, 300 p., ISBN: 978-3-642-23683-9, 978-3-642-23684-6Landolt-Börnstein - Group VIII Advanced Materials and Technologies 7A : Advanced Materials and TechnologiesThis volume will cover the tasks of medical physics in radiological diagnostics and therapy, i.e. X-ray imaging, X-ray computed tomography, nuclear
medical imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound imaging, in clinical radiotherapy, other locoregional therapies and in treatment planning.It addresses to:
Those already working as physicians or physicists and engineers in medical radiology for getting information on most recent developments in fundamentals of this discipline, i.e. radiobiology, radiation biophysics, dosimetry, medical radiological protection and instrumentation;Medical physicists and engineers, participating in post-graduate education programmes in medical radiological physics, in order to become qualified experts in medical physics;
Physicists and engineers to be qualified for future employment as health physicists or engineers in so-called competent national authorities for health protection;Young physicists and physicians as newcomers in the fields of dosimetry, instrumentation, radiological imaging, radiotherapy, and medical radiological protection of patients, clinical staff and members of the public.
