The Physics of Radiation Therapy

This is an excellent book for any Dosimetrist, student or professional. The book can be used as a refrence and/or to study for CMD. Important radiation physics concepts explained.

I find this an absolutely fantastic book. It really is the bible of medical physics for radiotherapy. I had the second edition until it fell apart, and just purchased this new third edition. It explains virtually every single thing you need to know in therapy- from a theoretical point of view. It does have two weak points: not all terms are clearly defined each time they are used in equations, and the prostate seed implant chapter has been largely overtaken by technological advancements in in-theatre planning which make it a little outdated. If you are medical physicsist in radiotherapy and will only buy one book in your lifetime, then let this one be it!
