Editorial Review

Product Description
A highly practical reference for health physicists and other professionals, addressing practical problems in radiation protection, this new edition has been completely revised, updated and supplemented by such new sections as log-normal distribution and digital radiography, as well as new chapters on internal radiation dose and the environmental transport of radionuclides.
Designed for readers with limited as well as basic science backgrounds, the handbook presents clear, thorough and up-to-date explanations of the basic physics necessary. It provides an overview of the major discoveries in radiation physics, plus extensive discussion of radioactivity, including sources and materials, as well as calculational methods for radiation exposure, comprehensive appendices and more than 400 figures. The text draws substantially on current resource data available, which is cross-referenced to standard compendiums, providing decay schemes and emission energies for approximately 100 of the most common radionuclides encountered by practitioners. Excerpts from the Chart of the Nuclides, activation cross sections, fission yields, fission-product chains, photon attenuation coefficients, and nuclear masses are also provided. Throughout, the author emphasizes applied concepts and carefully illustrates all topics using real-world examples as well as exercises.
A much-needed working resource for health physicists and other radiation protection professionals. ... Read more

1-0 out of 5 stars VALUABLE IRRITANT...
Physics for Radiation Protection by James E. Martin is a valuable yet irritating book.Only the chapters about detector operation and counting statistics are truly professional.In the earlier part of the book, there is a vry characteristic lack of rigour.Almost every sentence, every paragraph is badly worded and lacks rigour.This book is the product of our modern culture whre people sit in front of PCs the entire day, and type manuscripts direcly on PC.A well-versed theoretical physicist will cringe when reading most of this book.However, despite simplistic science, bad formulations and dispassionate grammar, the book holds significant utilitarian value -- it can really be quite useful for practicing, practical, non-academic radiation protection staff.Bypassing the regular physics courses and substituting this shortcut into physics for RP learners, resulted in this book: Terrible academic physics, but still useful for the practical science of Radiation Protection.

5-0 out of 5 stars An invaluable contribution
James Martin has produced a work that all members of the health physics community will find invaluable.Students, instructors and practicingradiation protection professionals will find this book useful.It covers,in a clear and concise manner, all of the important radiation physicstopics that comprise the foundation of radiation protection.Whether usedas a teaching tool or as a reference, this book fills a void in theliterature that has long existed.I wish this work were available when Iwas receiving my radiation protection training.

As the RSO of a majorophthalmic pharmaceutical research and development company, I will applythe information in this book to both radiation safety operations and toradiation safety training for our users.

My congratulations to JamesMartin for publishing this book.I highly recommend it to all in theradiation protection field. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
Mutual recognition of professionals is a pre-requisite for the fulfillment of European Union policies concerning the free movement of professionals. The two associated fields of Biomedical Engineering (BME) and Medical Physics (MP) are rapidly evolving and diversifying while the accelerated development of medical informatics, telematics and microelectronics, approached by both physics and engineering, have resulted in extended grey areas around the two profession boundaries. Competency-based education, training, assessment and accreditation of medical physicists and biomedical engineers share not only common principles, but also a certain number of common competencies. These issues have been negotiated, in this volume, by transnational professional bodies and also by TEMPERE - a European thematic network of 40 universities under the SOCRATES EU programme - which has contributed a broadly accepted proposal for mutual co-operation and recognition in the above fields. ...

Product Description
The material presented in this text covers the many diverse areas of health physics inherent in a campus setting. In addition to some "back-to-basics" topics such as instrumentation, calibration, measurements, and development and implementation of an internal radiation safety program, areas discussed include: accelerators (types, principles, uses, operational safety and dosimetry, and radiation fields and shielding); medical uses in medical center applications; security of radioactive materials with specific regard to control of sealed sources; and a representative mix of subject matter such as control of non-ionizing sources, safety and compliance for research at remote locations, qualification standards for university and medical radiation safety officers, performance-based radiation safety program reviews, and other managerial and organizational considerations. ...

Editorial Review

Product Description
Outstanding health physicists and recognized experts from other professions discuss principles and lessons learned from past experiences to help the professional understand the rationale for proper planning, assessments, and responses to nuclear, chemical and biological terrorism.

The chapters are divided into three subject areas: (1) the pre-attack phase, including the planning preparations prior to attack, (2) the immediate post-attack phase, including the urgent actions needed to minimize exposures and maximize life-saving in the early minutes and hours after an attack; (3) the recovery phase, including the follow-up care of injured and traumatized persons, with some information on recovery of property and resources.

A series of appendices serve as a handbook for the types of data, action lists, and considerations that would help in making rapid, life-saving decisions, planning for such decisions, or training responders to make immediate on-site decisions.

This is a relevant and timely book for all who are concerned about preparedness in the event of a terrorist attack. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
This text is a supplement to "Internal Radiation Dosimetry" (1994, Medical Physics Publishing), edited by Otto Raabe.
Chapter 1 begins with a detailed overview of the anatomy and physiology of organ systems essential to our understanding of radionuclide entry to the body and deposition within internal organs. Detailed biokinetic models of inhalation, ingestion, and skin entry are then given in Chapter 2.
Chapter 3 addresses concepts of exposure and bioassay as needed in internal dose assessment programs.
Chapter 4 addresses the design and conduct of these programs, with specific emphasis on current regulatory and legal requirements. Support information to Chapters 3 and 4 are given in Chapter 5 (variance reduction models) and Chapter 6 (fecal monitoring for plutonium and other long-lived actinides).
Chapters 7 and 8 cover Bayesian statistics and the use of Markov Chain Monte Carlo, respectively, as applied to internal dosimetry.
Medical aspects of internal dosimetry are covered in Chapter 9 (nuclear medicine) and in Chapter 10 (radionuclide therapy).
In many of these chapters, the authors provide detailed examples and case studies for better understanding of the concepts and theory presented. ... Read more
