This book is the product of a unique collaboration by experts from leading international, regional and national agencies and professional organizations discussing on the current 'hot' issue on the judicious use and safety of radiation in radiology. There have been several cases involving radiation overexposure that have received international attention. Strategies and solutions to guide readers how to maximize the benefits and minimize the risks when using radiation in medicine are covered.

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, this three-volume set covers diagnostic imaging physics, nuclear medicine physics, and radiotherapy physics. It is suitable for graduate courses in medical physics, radiological sciences, and biomedical engineering. The set helps students understand how to apply theoretical concepts in real-world medical physics situations.
