Description:
In print since 1972, this
seventh edition of Radiobiology for
the Radiologist is
the most extensively revised to date. It consists of two sections, one
for those studying or practicing diagnostic radiology, nuclear
medicine
and radiation oncology; the other for those engaged in the study or
clinical practice of radiation oncology--a new chapter, on radiologic
terrorism, is specifically for those in the radiation sciences who
would manage exposed individuals in the event of a terrorist
event. The
17 chapters in Section I represent a general introduction to radiation
biology and a complete, self-contained course especially for residents
in diagnostic radiology and nuclear medicine that follows the Syllabus
in Radiation Biology of the RSNA. The 11 chapters in Section II address
more in-depth topics in radiation oncology, such as cancer biology,
retreatment after radiotherapy, chemotherapeutic agents and
hyperthermia.
Now in full color, this lavishly illustrated new
edition is replete with tables and figures that underscore essential
concepts. Each chapter concludes with a "summary of pertinent
conclusions" to facilitate quick review and help readers
retain important information.
The new edition added new
topics:
- New
chapters on radiological terrorism, molecular imaging and
retreatment with radiotherapy
- Thorough revision of chapter on
hyperthermia includes results from recent clinical
trials
- Extensive glossary of terms
- "Summary of pertinent conclusions" and
bibliography follow each chapter
- Clear, informative illustrations in four
color
