Covers photon and neutron attenuation, radiation and charged particle equilibrium, interactions of photons and charged particles with matter, radiotherapy dosimetry, as well as photographic, calorimetric, chemical, and thermoluminescence dosimetry. Includes many new derivations, such as Kramers X-ray spectrum, as well as topics that have not been thoroughly analyzed in other texts, such as broad-beam attenuation and geometrics, and the reciprocity theorem 606 $aMedical physics 606 $aRadiation dosimetry 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMedical physics. 615 0$aRadiation dosimetry. 676 $a539.77 676 $a612.01448 700 $aAttix$b Frank Herbert$044484 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910144742703321 996 $aIntroduction to radiological physics and radiation dosimetry$9767647 997 $aUNINA
