Radiation biology for medical physicists
CALL NO : QH543.5 S961r 2017
IMPRINT : Boca Raton, Fla. : CRC Press, c2017
This book is designed to convey as much information as possible in a concise and simple way to make it suitable for students, researchers and clinical medical physicists. Better meanings, codes and examples are included. Most of the basics are also covered for easy reference along with a glossary of objective-type questions. Upon completion of this textbook, the readers will gather knowledge about the physics, chemistry and biology of the human body towards cancer treatment using radiation.
Features
- Suitable for medical physics students, clinical medical physicists and radiobiology researchers
- Covers the radiobiology syllabus prescribed by many universities internationally
- Consists of many self-explanatory figures for understanding the concepts
- Explains technical words
- Uses author’s own acrostic in a simple way to remember salient points. For example, to remember DNA base pairing, the acrostic “ATGC- All Traditional Genetic Code” is used. This helps to remember that Adenine (A) always pairs with Thymine (T) through 2H bonds (the word All consists of two letters next to A) and Guanine (G) always pairs with Cytocine (C) through 3H bonds (the word Code consists of three letters next to C).
