Taylor & Francis Ltd Diagnostic Radiology Physics with MATLAB
Book SynopsisImaging modalities in radiology produce ever-increasing amounts of data which need to be displayed, optimized, analyzed and archived: a big data as well as an image processing problem. Computer programming skills are rarely emphasized during the education and training of medical physicists, meaning that many individuals enter the workplace without the ability to efficiently solve many real-world clinical problems.This book provides a foundation for the teaching and learning of programming for medical physicists and other professions in the field of Radiology and offers valuable content for novices and more experienced readers alike.It focuses on providing readers with practical skills on how to implement MATLAB as an everyday tool, rather than on solving academic and abstract physics problems. Further, it recognizes that MATLAB is only one tool in a medical physicist's toolkit and shows how it can be used as the glue to integrate other software and processes together. Table of Contents1. The role of programming in healthcare. 2. MATLAB fundamentals. 3. Data Sources in Medical Imaging. 4. Importing, manipulating, and displaying DICOM data in MATLAB. 5. Creating automated Creating automated. 6. Integration with other programming languages and environments. 7. Good programming practices. 8. Sharing software. 9.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Advanced Radiation Protection Dosimetry
Book SynopsisAlthough many radiation protection scientists and engineers use dose coefficients, few know the origin of those dose coefficients. This is the first book in over 40 years to address the topic of radiation protection dosimetry in intimate detail. Advanced Radiation Protection Dosimetry covers all methods used in radiation protection dosimetry, including advanced external and internal radiation dosimetry concepts and regulatory applications. This book is an ideal reference for both scientists and practitioners in radiation protection and students in graduate health physics and medical physics courses.Features: A much-needed book filling a gap in the market in a rapidly expanding area Contains the history, evolution, and the most up-to-date computational dosimetry models Authored and edited by internationally recognized authorities and subject area specTrade Review“Although many radiation protection scientists and engineers use dose coefficients, few know the origin of those dose coefficients. This is the first book in over 40 years to address the topic of radiation protection dosimetry in intimate detail. This is a significant volume providing an overview of the field of radiation protection dosimetry, elaborating on the foundational concepts, historical evolution of regulation and guidance, scientific models, and measurements of exposure and uptake, and addressing application of these models in evaluating radiation exposure/uptake risk. It is part of the International Organization for Medical Physics book series in medical physics and biomedical engineering. The book provides a comprehensive summary of the current state-of-the art computational dosimetry techniques for radiation protection, with a clear, overarching goal of capturing the high-level knowledge used to generate fundamental radiation protection dosimetry quantities. The book addresses these concepts and regulatory applications considering both external and internal pathways. The methods presented are largely based on computational approaches and results from the latest International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) and the International Commission on Radiation Units (ICRU). As such, the book is appropriate for both a national and international audience including medical physicists, health physicists, radiation protection specialists, nuclear medicine practitioners, epidemiologists, and regulators. Other groups that would benefit from the information include students, academic physicists/dosimetrists, and laboratory researchers. The book contains the most up-to-date computational dosimetry models with each topic covered by internationally recognized experts in that field of study. After reviewing fundamental concepts and an engaging historical review of radiation protection guidance in the United States (with parallel coverage of the international recommendations), the book takes deep dives into several key topics: radiation detection and measurement, reference individuals (and associated phantoms) defined for external and internal radiation dosimetry, as well as biokinetic and dosimetric models. Additional key chapters include a comprehensive treatment of dose coefficients (and computational dosimetry approaches), cancer risk coefficients (considering both philosophy and application), and the interpretation of bioassay results to assess the intake of radionuclides. This book elucidates important topics in a much more practical manner than highly technical publications. In addition, having the detailed information in a single, combined, high-quality volume with primary references provided is a plus. The included sample calculations and detailed case studies are exceptionally useful inclusions. This is an important book that ensures key knowledge transfer from outgoing subject matter experts in radiation protection to incoming generations.” —Lawrence Dauer, Ph.D. (Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center) in Doody’s Core Titles Review 2022. Table of ContentsChapter 1: Introduction. Chapter 2: Fundamental Concepts and Quantities. Chapter 3: Evolution of Radiation Protection Guidance in the United States. Chapter 4: Radiation Detection and Measurement. Chapter 5: Reference Individuals Defined for External and Internal Radiation Dosimetry. Chapter 6: Biokinetic Models. Chapter 7: Dosimetric Models.
