Description:
An excellent textbook
descriping the basic principles
of radiation dosimetry. It covers the basic fundamental
interaction of radiation
with matter and its application in radiation dosimetry. Each
chapter explains
the in-depth theoretical of radiation physics dosimetry with its
application
in clinical radiation therapy.
