3.0 out of 5 stars In need of new edition, May 16, 1996

By A Customer

This review is from: Physics of Radiology, Fourth Edition (Hardcover)

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 15, 2004

SHERRY LEUNG (VANCOUVER, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Physics of Radiology, Fourth Edition (Hardcover)

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

Health Physics Student (Corvallis, Oregon) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Physics of Radiology, Fourth Edition (Hardcover)

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.
