Concentrating on the underlying principles of radiation physics, the textbook covers the prerequisite knowledge for medical physics courses on the graduate and post-graduate levels in radiotherapy physics, radiation dosimetry, imaging physics, and health physics, thus providing the link between elementary undergraduate physics and the intricacies of four medical physics specialties: diagnostic radiology physics, nuclear medicine physics, radiation oncology physics, and health physics. To recognize the importance of radiation dosimetry to medical physics three new chapters have been added to the 14 chapters of the previous edition. Chapter 15 provides a general introduction to radiation dosimetry. Chapter 16 deals with absolute radiation dosimetry systems that establish absorbed dose or some other dose related quantity directly from the signal measured by the dosimeter. Three absolute dosimetry techniques are known and described in detail: (i) calorimetric; (ii) chemical (Fricke), and (iii) ionometric. Chapter 17 deals with relative radiation dosimetry systems that rely on a previous dosimeter calibration in a known radiation field. Many relative radiation dosimetry systems have been developed to date and four most important categories used routinely in medicine and radiation protection are described in this chapter: (i) Ionometric dosimetry; (ii) Luminescence dosimetry; (iii) Semiconductor dosimetry; and (iv) Film dosimetry. The book is intended as a textbook for a radiation physics course in academic medical physics graduate programs as well as a reference book for candidates preparing for certification examinations in medical physics sub-specialties. It may also be of interest to many professionals, not only physicists, who in their daily occupations deal with various aspects of medical physics or radiation physics and have a need or desire to improve their understanding of radiation physics.            . 410 0$aGraduate Texts in Physics,$x1868-4513 606 $aMedical physics 606 $aRadiation 606 $aRadiology 606 $aBiomedical engineering 606 $aNuclear medicine 606 $aParticle acceleration 606 $aMedical and Radiation Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P27060 606 $aDiagnostic Radiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H29013 606 $aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T2700X 606 $aNuclear Medicine$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H29048 606 $aParticle Acceleration and Detection, Beam Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23037 615 0$aMedical physics. 615 0$aRadiation. 615 0$aRadiology. 615 0$aBiomedical engineering. 615 0$aNuclear medicine. 615 0$aParticle acceleration. 615 14$aMedical and Radiation Physics. 615 24$aDiagnostic Radiology. 615 24$aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering. 615 24$aNuclear Medicine. 615 24$aParticle Acceleration and Detection, Beam Physics. 676 $a610.153 700 $aPodgors?ak$b E.
