This guidebook explores the basics of the interaction of radiation with matter both from the physical and chemical aspects and the relation to biological effects. Calculations of absorbed doses and dose equivalent and ways to minimize exposure and optimization of radiation protection in light of the latest international recommenda-tions are discussed and examples are shown. Frequently used dosimeters, radiation detectors with an emphasis on TL and chemi-cal dosimeters and the dosimetry of fast neutron beams with spe-cial attention to medical uses in neutron therapy are discussed. The latest da

Handbook of Dosimetry Data for Radiotherapy is an important new reference featuring comprehensive data on external beam radiotherapy; brachytherapy sources; and special procedures such as total body irradiation (TBI), total body electron therapy (TBE), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), and intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT). External beam data includes depth doses for photon and electron beams of most widely used treatment machines, and the book’s brachytherapy section contains the physical and radiation parameters of commonly used radioactive sources. Handbook of Dosimetry Data for Radio

Radiation dosimetry has made great progress in the last decade, mainly because radiation therapy is much more widely used. Since the first edition, many new developments have been made in the basic methods for dosimetry, i.e. ionization chambers, TLD, chemical dosimeters, and photographic films. Radiation Dosimetry: Instrumentation and Methods, Second Edition brings to the reader these latest developments. Written at a high level for medical physicists, engineers, and advanced dosimetrists, it concentrates only on evolvement during the last decade, relying on the first edition to provide the

This book provides a comprehensive description of a dosimetric technique called thermoluminescence dosimetry. There are hundreds of scientific papers on thermoluminescence and its applications, but none deal with the handling of the technique, except for some official documents regarding procedural tests which are now not easily found. For this reason the authors have written this book with the aim of describing in detail how to use this dosimetric method. This volume is a valuable guide not only on the proper handling of the TL dosimeters but also on the results obtained by their use.
