Intended for residents, dosimetrists, radiation therapists and junior medical physicists preparing for board certification in radiation oncology, this study guide contains more than 150 practice questions with answers and explanations. Page references to standard texts in the field are included with the answers, providing an opportunity for further study in areas requiring more knowledge .The major topics covered are: Basic Physics Principles (such as structure of matter, radioactivity, radiation quantities and units): Radiation Detectors, and Principles of Operation of Treatment Machines. This is an all-important aid in studying for board certification.
