Advanced Topics with Problems and Solutions

Beschreibung

Suitable for self-study or an advanced course on the physics of radiation therapy, this text covers important topics in medical physics that are not adequately addressed in existing textbooks. It brings together material from a large variety of sources, eliminating the need for readers to search through and digest the vast research literature. The book uses consistent mathematical notation throughout and develops the mathematics from first principles. Problems with solutions test and reinforce readers' quantitative understanding.
