Series: Series in Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering

The first MATLAB® programming book written specifically for clinical radiotherapy medical physicists and medical physics trainees, this much-needed book teaches users how to create their own clinical applications using MATLAB®, as a complement to commercial software particularly when the latter does not cover specific local clinical needs. Chapters explore key radiotherapy areas such as handling volumes, 3D dose calculation, comparing...

Read an exclusive interview with Dr. Jerry Battista here. A critical element of radiation treatment planning for cancer is the accurate prediction and delivery of a tailored radiation dose distribution inside the patient. Megavoltage x-ray beams are aimed at the tumour, while collateral damage to nearby healthy tissue and organs is minimised. The key to optimal treatment therefore lies in...

The first in a three-volume set exploring Problems and Solutions in Medical Physics, this volume examines common questions and their solutions within the field of Diagnostic Imaging. This invaluable study guide should be used in conjunction with other key textbooks to provide additional learning opportunities. It contains key imaging modalities, delving into X-ray, mammography, and fluoroscopy, alongside computed tomography, magnetic...

The second in a three-volume set exploring Problems and Solutions in Medical Physics, this volume explores common questions and their solutions in Nuclear Medicine. This invaluable study guide should be used in conjunction with other key textbooks in the field to provide additional learning opportunities. Topics include radioactivity and nuclear transformation, radionuclide production and radiopharmaceuticals, non-imaging detectors and counters, instrumentation...
