Radiation Physics for Medical Physicists
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-319-25380-0 (ISBN)
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.
Ervin B. Podgorsak was born in Vienna, Austria and grew up in Ljubljana, Slovenia, where he completed his undergraduate studies in technical physics in 1968. He then continued his studies in the USA at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, and obtained M.SC. and Ph.D. degrees in physics. He accomplished his post-doctoral studies in medical physics at the University of Toronto in 1974 and moved to McGill University in Montréal where he currently holds positions of Professor of Medical Physics and Director of the Medical Physics department. He is author of various successful books.
From the Contents: Introduction to Modern Physics.- Coulomb Scattering.- Rutherford - Bohr Atomic Model.- Production of X Rays.- Two-Particle Collisions.- Interaction of Charged Particles with Matter.- Interaction of Photons with Matter.
"This book, now in its third edition, builds on his extensive expertise as a radiation physicist, medical physicist and educator, and constitutes a clear, comprehensive and well-balanced resource. ... the book is aimed at medical physicists, and it is indeed an excellent and comprehensive resource for students on Master's and research degrees in this area or on clinical scientist training programmes, as well as for practising medical physicists." (Dr. Silvia Pani, RAD Magazine, October, 2017)
