Provides comprehensive and cohesive instruction in the technology and evaluation of radiographic and fluoroscopic imaging. The tools needed for specifying, inspecting, and evaluating these systems are used as a unifying framework for reviewing the state-of-the-art of radiographic and fluoroscopic systems, the principles of image quality analysis, and the technology and digital receptors.

Focuses on the MDCB exam's "big three" areas of treatment planning, radiation physics, and dose calculation. Other sections of the study guide cover localization, brachytherapy, radiation protection, and quality assurance. Many questions include helpful full-colour figures and detailed explanations from one of the world foremost authorities.

Brings together 27 state-of-the-art research and review papers by leading experts and practitioners in mathematical methods in biomedical imaging, in intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and in optimisation and inverse problems.

A unique resource for busy radiation oncologists, this book is a comprehensive text that includes reviews of the basic sciences underlying the field of radiation oncology. It also offers important overviews of the current state of knowledge for all common cancers managed by radiation oncologists, and supplies concise overviews of modern radiation treatment techniques.

Compiled from sessions presented at the 2008 AAPM Summer School, held in Houston, the topics include PET and CT basics, diagnostic and clinical alications, PET/CT scanner designs and characteristics, scanner testing, PET ACR accreditation and acceptance testing, PET/CT simulation for therapy alications, shielding calculations and radiation safety, and site planning.

This best-selling textbook is intended primarily for students who plan to make a career in some field of medicine. With over 220 images and tables, the authors rely on basic physics principles to promote an understanding of the function of the various organ systems of the body. Includes an Instructor's Guide with answers to all of the problems in the book.

This is the second in MPP's biennial series aimed at helping practicing medical physicists, technically-inclined physicians, and other interested professionals stay current in medical radiation science and technology. This volume covers 18 new and important topics in diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy. The book begins with updates on digital radiography, mammography, fluoroscopy, and MRI.

This book is an updated successor to The Physics of Radiotherapy X-Rays from Linear Accelerators, published in 1997. This new volume includes a significant amount of new material, including new chapters on electrons in radiotherapy and IMRT, IGRT, and tomotherapy, which have become key developments in radiation therapy.
