Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Although it follows the topical outline that proved so successful in its earlier editions, the Fourth Edition of this respected book encompasses all of the advances and changes that have been made since last it was revised. It not only presents new ideas and information, it shifts its emphases to accurately reflect the inevitably changing perspectives in the field engendered by progress in the understanding of radiological physics.

3.0 out of 5 stars In need of new edition, May 16, 1996
By A Customer
This text has been considered the bible of radiation therapy. It is in need of updating to current therapy modalities. Some of the problem answers are incorrect.

5.0 out of 5 stars good book, November 16, 2004
By SHERRY LEUNG (VANCOUVER, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews
It's quite clear most of the time. It has basic physics in it so you'd never need to refer to another textbook for simple things that you've forgotten. I wish it was a little more updated though. It's limited in it's coverage of things like neutron therapy. But this book is so good, you could use it as a self study guide, almost.

4.0 out of 5 stars Practial text to have, May 12, 2007
By Health Physics Student (Corvallis, Oregon) - See all my reviews
Physics of Radiology isn't as complete a text as Martin's, it seems more like a handbook than a physics text, but it is definitely useful and is full of examples that I can't find in other books. It's a little difficult to read straight through because of the visual format (it looks like it was written on a typewriter), but the examples are great references. I would have liked it if the authors used units more often, so that I could more easily adapt the examples but in all, it was a good investment.
