With worked examples and real-world case studies, this text covers the physical and biological background of the subject and addresses the medical situations where radiation is the tool to diagnose or treat human disease. It examines the framework of radiation protection guidelines introduced by the ICRP, discusses the units and tools used in radiation protection, and introduces the concepts of a system of radiation protection in the workplace. The core of the book presents detailed information on the practical applications of radiation protection in the three areas of medicine where radiation is most widely used: radiology, nuclear medicine, and radiotherapy.
