Hartmut Zabel: Medical Physics / Physical Aspects of Therapeutics
De Gruyter (Verlag)
978-3-11-116867-8 (ISBN)
The updated edition of the third of three vollumes on Medical Physics presents modern physical methods for medical therapy with a focus on tumor treatment. It provides background information on radiation biology, radiation response of tissues, and linear energy transfer through radiation. Therapies with external radiation sources (x-rays, protons, neutrons) as well as internal radiation sources (brachytherapy) are discussed in detail. Other chapters deal with the use of lasers and nanoparticles in modern medicine. This volume closes with a short chapter on medical statistics. NEW: highlighted boxes emphasize specifi c topics; math boxes explain more advanced mathematical issues; each chapter concludes with a summary of the key concepts, questions, exercises, and a self-assessment of the acquired competence. The appendix provides answers to questions and solutions to exercises.

Review of the 1rst edition:
"I used both volumes for my Medical Physics class and what I can say is that the students and myself loved it! The first volume discusses very well the physics of the human body while the second one discusses more the instrumentation. Overall, a very complete set of books for either a one-semester or a two-semester class."
