Presents both theory and clinical practice of radiation protection and radiobiology. The book serves as a review for national certification exams, as well as a review for clinical practice. For radiography students and radiographers, it emphasizes clinical practice.
Written from the perspective that the reader is the primary individual responsible for patient radiation protection, this book instills in readers the motivation to practice protection at all times. This book presents both theory and clinical practice of radiation protection and radiobiology - from X-ray production and nuclear medicine to radiation therapy. It serves as a complete review for national certification exams as well as a useful review for clinical practice. Written primarily by a radiography educator with assistance on individual chapters by educators in nuclear medicine and radiation therapy as well as a practicing health physicist and state inspector, this book is an appropriate resource on the subject.
