Scintillation Dosimetry: Imaging in Medical Diagnosis and Therapy

Editat de Sam Beddar, Luc Beaulieu
en Limba Engleză Hardback – apr 2016

Scintillation Dosimetry delivers a comprehensive introduction to plastic scintillation dosimetry, covering everything from basic radiation dosimetry concepts to plastic scintillating fiber optics. Comprised of chapters authored by leading experts in the medical physics community, the book:

  • Discusses a broad range of technical implementations, from point source dosimetry scaling to 3D-volumetric and 4D-scintillation dosimetry
  • Addresses a wide scope of clinical applications, from machine quality assurance to small-field and "in vivo" dosimetry
  • Examines related optical techniques, such as optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) or erenkov luminescence

Thus, Scintillation Dosimetry provides an authoritative reference for detailed, state-of-the-art information on plastic scintillation dosimetry and its use in the field of radiation dosimetry."
