Reviews

The application of radiation physics to medicine is an expanding multidisciplinary field based on knowledge, tools and techniques derived from nuclear and particle physics. This book will therefore appeal not only to curious medical physicists and scientists active in the fi eld, but also to physicists in general who - as the author comments - 'like understanding'. -CERN Courier (Jan/Feb 2017)
