Beskrivning

Primer on Radiation Oncology Physics: Video Tutorials with Textbook and Problems, now in its second edition, provides over 60 tutorial videos (each 15–20 minutes in length) with a companion text and is the most complete and effective introduction to medical physics available. The textbook and videos are the result of decades of Dr. Ford’s teaching experience with a variety of learners from different backgrounds. They have rapidly become a must‑have resource in the field and are valuable for both early learners and those seeking a refresher.Key FeaturesA complete learning package for radiation oncology physics, including a full series of video tutorials and an associated textbook companion websiteClearly drawn, simple illustrations throughout the text and videos, including “whiteboard” screen technology to facilitate comprehensionAn embedded quiz feature in the video tutorials for testing comprehension while viewingInteractive online tools to reinforce conceptsExtensive problem sets in each chapter (with solutions)
