CRC Press Revival: Radiation Dosimetry Instrumentation and Methods (2001): Instrumentation and Methods (CRC Press Revivals)

Product Description Radiation dosimetry has made great progress in the last decade, mainly because radiation therapy is much more widely used. Since the first edition, many new developments have been made in the basic methods for dosimetry, i.e. ionization chambers, TLD, chemical dosimeters, and photographic films. Radiation Dosimetry: Instrumentation and Methods, Second Edition brings to the reader these latest developments. Written at a high level for medical physicists, engineers, and advanced dosimetrists, it concentrates only on evolvement during the last decade, relying on the first edition to provide the basics. This is an excellent complement to the first edition. About the Author Gad Shani has completed his PhD at Cornell University in 1970. He has been on the faculty of Ben Gurion University in Israel since then. He served as the head of the department of Nuclear Engineering and later as the head of the department of Biomedical Engineering.
