This report supersedes Part A of ICRU report 33 (ICRU, 1980), dealing with quantities and units for general use.
This report deals w ith the m edical m anagem ent of individual patients or small groups o f patients under close m edical supervision. Additional and quite different considerations arise in applying radiological protection principles in the public health field or in the consideration of prophylactic responses to w idespread environm ental contamination. These further aspects are not considered…
Health physics or radiological health, as it frequently called, is the area of environmental health engineering that deals with the protection of the individual and population groups against the harmful effects of ionizing of nonionizing radiation. The health physicist is responsible for safety aspects in the design of processes, equipment, and facilities utilizing radiation sources, so that ra…
Accurate radiation dosimetry is a requirement of radiation oncology, diagnostic radiology and nuclear medicine. It is necessary so as to satisfy the needs of patient safety, therapeutic and diagnostic optimisation, and retrospective epidemiological studies of the biological effects resulting from low absorbed doses of ionising radiation. The radiation absorbed dose received by the patient is …
Essay about Atomic structure and radioactive decay; Production of X rays; Interactions of X rays and gamma rays; Radiation units; Measurement of ionizing radiation; Calibration of megavoltage beams of X rays and electrons; Dosimetry of radiation fields; Treatment planning by manual methods; Diagnostic imaging and applications to radiation therapy; Computer systems; Computer-based treatment plan…
Proton Therapy Physics goes beyond current books on proton therapy to provide an in-depth overview of the physics aspects of this radiation therapy modality, eliminating the need to dig through information scattered in the medical physics literature. After tracing the history of proton therapy, the book summarizes the atomic and nuclear physics background necessary for understanding proton i…
