Practical Medical Physics
CRC Press (Verlag)
978-1-138-30753-7 (ISBN)
Developed by practising physicists and experienced academics using their experience of teaching trainee medical physicists, this book provides an accessible introduction to the daily tasks that clinical scientists perform in the course of their work. It bridges the gap between theory and practice, making the book also suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in other disciplines studying modules on medical physics, including those who are considering a career in medical physics through applying to the NHS Scientist Training Programme (STP).
Features:
Provides an accessible introduction to practical medical physics within a hospital environment
Maps to the course content of the Scientist Training Programme in the NHS
Acts as a complement to the academic books often recommended for medical physics courses
Debbie Peet is the Head of Medical Physics in the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust. She has worked in the NHS for nearly 40 years as a Clinical Scientist in all disciplines but has specialised in Radiation Safety and Diagnostic Radiology Physics for over 25 of them. She has an interest in facility design in Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine including PET/CT and has published several book chapters on these topics.
