Radiation physics for medical physicists

This book summarizes the radiation physics knowledge that professionals working in medical physics need to master for efficient and safe dealings with ionizing radiation. The textbook comprises eight chapters for a course in radiation physics in medical-physics graduate programs. However, the book may also be of interest to the large number of professionals, not only medical physicists, who in their daily occupations deal with various aspects of medical physics and find a need to improve their understanding of radiation physics. The main target audience for this book is graduate students studying for M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in medical physics. Medical residents, technology students and biomedical engineering students may find certain sections too challenging or esoteric, yet they will find many sections interesting and useful in their studies. Since existing textbooks generally make a transition from the elementary physics directly to the intricacies of the given medical-physics subspecialty, this textbook seeks to provide the missing link between the two.   TOC:1 Introduction to Modern Physics.- 2 Rutherford-Bohr Atomic Model.- 3 Production of X-rays.- 4 Two-Particle Collisions.- 5 Charged Particle Stopping Powers.- 6 Interactions of Neutrons with Matter.- 7 Photon Interactions with Matter.- 8 Radioactivity
