Radiation Physics for Medical Physicists Summary

Radiation Physics for Medical Physicists by Ervin B. Podgorsak (McGill University)

This book summarizes basic knowledge of atomic, nuclear, and radiation physics that professionals need for efficient and safe use of ionizing radiation. Concentrating on the underlying principles of radiation physics, it covers prerequisite knowledge for medical physics courses on the graduate and post-graduate levels, providing the link between elementary physics on the one hand and the intricacies of the medical physics specialties on the other.

Radiation Physics for Medical Physicists Reviews

From the reviews of the second edition: It covers the prerequisite knowledge needed for courses specific to the subdisciplines of medical physics----------------radiotherapy physics, radiation dosimetry, imaging physics----, and health physics. ... Every medical physicist should master the principles in the book so that their applications in specific fields of medical physics can be understood and appreciated. ... Book is recommended as the text for a course designed for entering graduate students in medical physics, and every medical physicist should understand and be able to utilize the information in the text. (William Hendee, Medical Physics, Vol. 37 (9), September, 2010)

About Ervin B. Podgorsak (McGill University)

Ervin B. Podgorsak was born in Vienna, Austria and grew up in Ljubljana, Slovenia where he completed his undergraduate studies in technical physics at the University of Ljubljana in 1968. He then studied at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, Wisconsin, USA and obtained M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in physics. He completed his post-doctoral studies in medical physics at the University of Toronto in 1974 and moved to McGill University in Montreal, where he currently holds positions of Professor of Medical Physics and Director of the Medical Physics department.
