The third in a three-volume set exploring Problems and Solutions in
Medical Physics, this volume explores common questions and their
solutions in Radiotherapy. This invaluable study guide should be used in
conjunction with other key textbooks in the field to provide additional
learning opportunities. One hundred and forty-four solved problems are
provided in ten chapters on basic physics topics, including External
Beam Therapy Equipment, Photon Beam Physics, Radiation Dosimetry,
Treatment Planning for External Beam Radiotherapy, and External Beam
Commissioning and Quality Assurance. Each chapter provides examples,
notes, and references for further reading to enhance understanding.
Features:
- Consolidates concepts and assists in the understanding and
applications of theoretical concepts in medical physics
- Assists lecturers and instructors in setting assignments and tests
- Suitable as a revision tool for postgraduate students sitting medical
physics, radiation oncology, and radiology science examinations
