Reviews

From the book reviews: “This book is intended for courses in academic medical physics and biomedical engineering graduate programs as well as a reference for candidates preparing for certification examination in medical physics specialties. Graduate students in other fields of science who want to gain a deeper understanding of modern physics and its relationship with radiation physics in medicine also will find this book valuable.” (Olivier Gayou, Doody’s Book Reviews, September, 2014)
