Organised into ten digestible chapters, the second edition of this popular book provides new discussions of dose factors in computed tomography, the debate concerning the use of the LNT model, Diagnostic Reference Levels (DRLs), dose optimization, and more.
Sherer's Radiation Protection in Medical Radiography provides vital information on radiation protection and biology in a clear, concise, and easy-to-understand manner.
This work is both a graduate level text and a professional reference that covers all of the basic concepts that a health/medical physicist and other radiation protection professionals need.
Chief Scientist Dr. Antone Brooks and his Low Dose Radiation Research Program team redefined the field, applying advances in instrumentation and molecular biology from the Human Genome Project and developing new technologies to examine cellular responses.
This is the book for all readers who have asked themselves questions such as- What kinds of radiation, and what degree of exposure, cause cancer? What after effects have nuclear accidents and bombs had? Does radiation increase the likelihood of birth defect?
Offers a calm and authoritative approach to crisis preparation. Written by a health physicist from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the book informs us about what we should know ahead of time, how to prepare, and the best ways to respond to a nuclear or radiological incident either as an emergency responder or community/family member.
