Opis

While graduate programs in medical physics are increasing across the globe, there is no graduate-level book currently dedicated to solving problems in medical physics. Filling this need, the third volume of this set covers radiotherapy physics. It is suitable for graduate courses in medical physics, radiological sciences, and biomedical engineering. The book helps students understand how to apply theoretical concepts in real-world medical physics situations.
