Order the Set Medical Physics and save almost 25€. Medical Physics covers the applied branch of physics concerned with the application of concepts and methods of physics to diagnostics and therapeutics of human diseases. This second volume in a series of two complements the imaging modalities presented in the first volume by those methods, which use ionizing radiation. The first chapters in part A on Radiography provide a solid background on radiation sources, interaction of radiation with matter, and dosimetry for the safe handling of radiation before introducing x-ray radiography, scintigraphy, SPECT and PET. The second part B on Radiotherapy starts from basic information on the life cycle of cells, radiation response of healthy and tumorous cells. In subsequent chapters the main methods of radiation treatment are presented, in particular x-ray radiotherapy, proton and neutron radiation therapy, and brachytherapy. The last part C, Diagnostics and Therapeutics beyond Radiology, covers laser applications, multifunctional nanoparticles and prosthetics. The present volume introduces the physical background on ionizing radiation, the biological effectiveness of radiation, as well as radiation based methods for diagnostics and therapeutics. covers the second part of the entire field of medical physics, including imaging methods with the use of ionizing radiation; radiation therapy with photons, protons, and neutrons; laser methods, nanomedicine and prosthetics. provides an introduction for Bachelor students to the main concepts of Medical Physics during their fi rst semesters guiding them to further specialized and advanced literature. contains many questions & answers related to the content of each chapter. is also available as a set together with Volume 1.

Učebnice Basics of Medical Physics (Základy lékařské fyziky) popisuje základní fyzikální vztahy a metody, se kterými se lékař může nejčastěji setkat v klinické nebo experimentální medicíně. Lékařská fyzika je specifická tím, že se zabývá aplikací fyzikálních metod na živý organismus. Je tedy interdisciplinárním vědním oborem, který spojuje fyziku a biologické vědy. Kniha obsahuje osm kapitol: Stavba hmoty; Molekulární biofyzika; Termodynamika; Biofyzika elektrických projevů a účinků; Akustika a fyzikální principy sluchu; Optika; Fyzika rentgenového záření a jeho použití v lékařství; Radioaktivita a ionizující záření. Text je doplněn mnoha obrázky, které pomůžou k snadnějšímu pochopení dané problematiky. Metody, které jsou v učebnici vysvětleny, jsou založeny na různých fyzikálních principech. Některé z nich, např. používání optických zvětšovacích čoček nebo rentgenového záření, jsou známé více než 100 let, jiné nacházejí díky technologickému pokroku uplatnění až v poslední době, jako např. zobrazování magnetickou rezonancí nebo pozitronovou emisní tomografií. Čtenář by tak měl po prostudování této knihy získat ucelený přehled o možnostech využití různých fyzikálních metod v medicíně. Měl by být schopen fyzikální vztahy uvedené v učebnici chápat v širších souvislostech a popsané metody aplikovat v jednotlivých lékařských oborech.

The medical applications of physics are typically not covered in introductory physics courses. This volume fills that gap by explaining the physical principles behind technologies such as surgical lasers or computed tomography (CT or CAT) scanners. Each chapter contains a short explanation of the scientific background, making this book highly accessible to those without an advanced knowledge of physics. It is intended for students in the field of medicine/health studies requiring an elementary background in physics. But Introduction to Physics in Modern Medicine can also serve as a non-mathematical introduction to applied physics for undergraduate physics students.
