Looking for a book that will deepen your knowledge about the particle interaction physics hidden inside radiation dosimetry protocols like TG-51 or its predecessor, TG-21? Unlike a cumbersome textbook with more overhead than insight, this nimble text distills actual lectures from a leading medical physics graduate program. In fact, the University of Wisconsin course this book is based on was previously taught by Frank Herbert Attix and Thomas Rockwell Mackie, legends whose insights are still found in these pages, refined and added to by the authors. After reading and studying this book, you will feel that even routine clinical tasks will remind you of the deep historical physics breakthroughs of generations of physicists who got us where we are today.
