The University of Chicago Press Life Atomic
Book SynopsisAfter World War II, the US Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) began mass-producing radioisotopes, sending out nearly 64,000 shipments of radioactive materials to scientists and physicians by 1955. Even as the atomic bomb became the focus of Cold War anxiety, radioisotopes represented the government's efforts to harness the power of the atom for peaceadvancing medicine, domestic energy, and foreign relations. In Life Atomic, Angela N. H. Creager tells the story of how these radioisotopes, which were simultaneously scientific tools and political icons, transformed biomedicine and ecology. Government-produced radioisotopes provided physicians with new tools for diagnosis and therapy, specifically cancer therapy, and enabled biologists to trace molecular transformations. Yet the government's attempt to present radioisotopes as marvelous dividends of the atomic age was undercut in the 1950s by the fallout debates, as scientists and citizens recognized the hazards of low-level radiation. Creager reveals that growing consciousness of the danger of radioactivity did not reduce the demand for radioisotopes at hospitals and laboratories, but it did change their popular representation from a therapeutic agent to an environmental poison. She then demonstrates how, by the late twentieth century, public fear of radioactivity overshadowed any appreciation of the positive consequences of the AEC's provision of radioisotopes for research and medicine.

Book SynopsisMathematical modelling is an important part of nuclear medicine. Therefore, several chapters of this book have been dedicated towards describing this topic. In these chapters, an emphasis has been put on describing the mathematical modelling of the radiation transport of photons and electrons, as well as on the transportation of radiopharmaceuticals between different organs and compartments. It also includes computer models of patient dosimetry. Two chapters of this book are devoted towards introducing the concept of biostatistics and radiobiology. These chapters are followed by chapters detailing dosimetry procedures commonly used in the context of diagnostic imaging, as well as patient-specific dosimetry for radiotherapy treatments. For safety reasons, many of the methods used in nuclear medicine and molecular imaging are tightly regulated. Therefore, this volume also highlights the basic principles for radiation protection.

Taylor & Francis Inc Microdosimetry
Book SynopsisExperimental microdosimetry deals with the measurement of charged particle energy deposition in tissue equivalent volumes, ranging in size from nanometres to micrometres. Microdosimetry is employed to improve our understanding of the relationship between radiation energy deposition, the resulting biological effects, and the appropriate quantities to be used in characterizing and quantifying radiation quality. Although many reviews and contributions to the field have been published over the past fifty years, this new book is the first to provide a single, up to date, and easily accessible account of experimental microdosimetry. This book is designed to be used in medical, radiation, and health physics courses and by Master's and PhD students. In addition to serving as an introductory text to the field for graduate students, this book will also be of interest as a teaching and reference resource for graduate supervisors and established researchers. Trade Review"This book written by two practitioners and outstanding experts on microdosimetry gives a highly valuable and more than timely update on this still very active field of research. After a concise and very didactical introduction into microdosimetric quantities, the book gives a comprehensive overview of experimental microdosimetry techniques, including recent developments in solid-state detectors. This is followed by an in-depth discussion on the challenges involved in obtaining microdosimetric spectra from microdosimetric measurements. The second half of the book is dedicated to the use of microdosimetry in applications in radiation biology and radiation protection. Here a full outline is given of the different approaches that have been taken in the last decades to provide measurable radiation quantities linked to the biological effects of radiation and the different effectiveness of different radiation qualities. In summary, this book gives an excellent up-to-date overview on microdosimetry that will, beyond doubt, benefit students as well as more senior researchers in the field."— Dr. Hans Rabus, Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), Germany "An excellent textbook in microdosimetry for both students and experts, Microdosimetry: Experimental Methods and Applications explores the fundamentals of the field, core microdosimetric theory, and includes detailed descriptions of microdosimetric radiation detectors, signal processing system, and data analysis and interpretation…Chapters on applications in radiation biology, radiation therapy, and radiation protection will serve as invaluable practical guides to radiation and health physicists."—Soo Hyun Byun, Department of Physics and Astronomy, McMaster University "This book is written by two world-renowned experts who have, throughout their professional careers, made significant contributions in the development of microdosimetric counters and in applying them in the measurements of various fields of ionizing radiation of different qualities. Not only will researchers active in the field of microdosimetry appreciate the content of this book, but also students entering this topical and important interdisciplinary field. This text brings together and reviews results collected over the last few decades in the areas of radiation protection, health physics, radiotherapy, radiobiology and environmental studies. The introductory chapters are perfectly suited for students as they begin their adventure with radiation science. The authors have achieved what is expected from any good textbook – to use simple examples and to show step-by-step how to understand and calculate microdosimetric quantities and relationships. Medical physicists, in particular those active in particle therapy, who are frequently exposed to professional jargon, such as "LET effects" or "LET dependence", will also find this book to be very instructive."—Pawel Olko, Instiute of Nuclear Physics PAN, Poland Table of ContentsIntroduction.

SPIE Press The Abundant Promise of Ultrasound in
Book SynopsisThis book is written for clinicians and engineers looking to learn about the new and exciting uses of ultrasound. Because it focuses on applications of ultrasound specifically for neurosurgery, the book addresses some of the reasons the use of ultrasound in neurosurgery has been slow compared to other fields of medicine (for example, cardiology, orthopedics, etc.). While review papers and books on similar topics have been published, these are not fully comprehensive nor up to date on all of the potential applications of ultrasound in neurosurgery. Our hope is to provide researchers within the field a new title that will expand their understanding of the burgeoning field of ultrasound in neurosurgery.
