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

The first comprehensive overview describing the effects of ionizing radiation on MOS devices, as well as how to design, fabricate, and test integrated circuits intended for use in a radiation environment. Also addresses process-induced radiation effects in the fabrication of high-density circuits. Reviews the history of radiation-hard technology, providing background information for those new to the field. Includes a comprehensive review of the literature and an annotated listing of research activities in radiation-hardness research.

This book reevaluates the health risks of ionizing radiation in light of data that have become available since the 1980 report on this subject was published. The data include new, much more reliable dose estimates for the A-bomb survivors, the results of an additional 14 years of follow-up of the survivors for cancer mortality, recent results of follow-up studies of persons irradiated for medical purposes, and results of relevant experiments with laboratory animals and cultured cells. It analyzes the data in terms of risk estimates for specific organs in relation to dose and time after exposur

Existing sterilization processes have proven to be inadequate in many instances. Microbial and viral contamination of tissues leads to major safety concerns involving surgical allografts. Sterilization of Biological Tissues with Ionizing Radiation provides information on the issues presented at an international meeting in Wales, supported by the International Atomic Energy Agency. It includes a Code of Practice for the Radiation Sterilization of Tissues with an evaluation of the code and its outcome. This book presents all of the methodologies used in the field and outlines new methods of prot

Passing the Fellowship of the Royal College of Radiologists Part 1 examination is a prerequisite for any doctor who wants a career in Radiology. The part 1 examines candidates’ knowledge on both the physics of medical imaging and the principles of radiation protection. This book provides a series of multiple choice questions structured in a similar format to the examination, in order to evaluate candidates’ knowledge on all the aspects that are required for part 1. The radiation protection questions are up-to-date with the current IR(ME)R 2000 regulations. Detailed answers with add
