Reviews / Votes
"This book is the third volume of a three-volume set that delves into medical physics. It presents a collection of problems and questions with answers and solutions on basic radiotherapy physics knowledge. The book consists of 10 large sections/chapters, 144 solved problems, and a bibliography. The book begins with the delivery equipment of standard conventional radiotherapy and transitions into treatment planning, special procedures, and radiobiology and radiation safety. The purpose of the book is to convey and emphasize basic radiotherapy physics concepts and their use in conventional radiation therapy treatments. The book executes this through problems and questions with provided answers and solutions for readers to practice and discover gaps in their knowledge. The book suits readers who have knowledge of the topic and seekfurther practice through problems and questions. The content and style are appropriate for young professionals in radiotherapy physics, including graduate students and medical physics residents, as well as radiation oncology residents who are preparing for their board certification examination. Medical dosimetrists and radiation therapy technologists will benefit as well.
This volume plays an important role in the complete coverage of the subject. The solved problems and chapters on basic radiotherapy physics and its applications will undoubtedly benefit a wide audience."
