Nonionizing Radiation Protection in Medical Environments describes how medical practitioners can safely use nonionizing radiation sources such as magnetic resonance imaging, lasers and ultrasound devices, for surgical, therapeutic, and diagnostic purposes. Focusing on the professional, operational, and regulatory aspects of nonionizing radiation protection, the book covers virtually all regions of the world. The theoretical background is based on current regulatory frameworks and is complemented by practical sections and professional discussions by the world’s leading medical and health physics professionals.

This textbook provides an accessible introduction to the basic principles of medical physics, the applications of medical physics equipment, and the role of a medical physicist in healthcare. Introduction to Medical Physics is designed to support undergraduate and graduate students taking their first modules on a medical physics course, or as a dedicated book for specific modules such as medical imaging and radiotherapy. It is ideally suited for new teaching schemes such as Modernising Scientific Careers and will be invaluable for all medical physics students worldwide.Key features: Written by an experienced and senior team of medical physicists from highly respected institutions The first book written specifically to introduce medical physics to undergraduate and graduate physics students Provides worked examples relevant to actual clinical situations
