Radiation Protection in Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology focuses on the professional, operational, and regulatory aspects of radiation protection. Advances in radiation medicine have resulted in new modalities and procedures, some of which have significant potential to cause serious harm. Examples include radiologic procedures that require very long fluoroscopy times, radiolabeled monoclo…
Based on the author's many years of experience in practicing safety assessment in industry and teaching students or professionals in this area, Francis Stoessel adopts a unique systematic how-to-do approach: each chapter beginning with a case history illustrating the topic and presenting the lessons learned from the incident.
