摘要註
The application of radiation to medical problems plays an ever-increasing role in diagnosis and treatment of disease. It is essential that medical physicists have the knowledge, understanding and practical skills to implementradiation protection as new techniques are developed. Practical Radiation Protection in Healthcare 2e provides apractical guide for medical physicists and others involvedwith radiation protection in the healthcare environment. The guidance is based on principles set out in current recommendations of The International Commission for Radiological Protection and methods developed by a varietyof professional bodies. Written by practitioners experienced in the field, this practical reference manual covers both established techniques and new areas of application. This new edition has been fully revised and updated to cover new requirements linked to the increased knowledge of radiation effects, and the development of newtechnology. Each specialist area is covered in a separate chapter to allow easy reference with individual chapters being assigned to different types of non-ionising radiations. Tabulated data is included to allow the readerto carry out calculations for situations encountered frequently without reference to further texts. Book jacket
