Radiation Protection in Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology (PDF) focuses on the professional, operational, and regulatory aspects of radiation protection. Advances in radiation medicine have resulted in new modalities and procedures, some of which have significant potential to cause serious harm. Examples include radiologic procedures that require very long fluoroscopy times, radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, and intravascular brachytherapy.
This ebook summarizes evidence supporting changes in regulations, consensus recommendations, and health physics practices associated with these recent advances in nuclear medicine, radiology, and radiation oncology. It supports intelligent and practical methods for the protection of the public, personnel, and patients.
The ebook is based on current recommendations by the International Commission on Radiological Protection and is complemented by detailed practical sections and professional discussions by the world’s leading health physics and medical professionals.
It also includes substantial information on international aspects of radiation protection, with sections covering Asia and Oceania, Africa, the Middle East, the European Union, and North and Latin America.

“An excellent ebook that contains an impressive compilation and related information in medical imaging and radiation protection. With the ever-growing need of society for medical services in diagnostic and therapeutic applications, the publication of this will be very timely and useful to every region of the world, and specifically in underdeveloped areas where healthcare services are growing yet still very much in demand.” ― S.Y. Chen, Director, Professional Master’s Health Physics Program, Illinois Institute of Technology
“It is vital that education about medical radiation protection encompasses the principles and practices of all members of the world community. Radiation Protection in Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, a member of the CRC Series in Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering, represents an important contribution to this goal. Not only does this new textbook cover the radiation protection aspects of the major modalities employed in diagnostics radiology and radiation oncology, but it also does so from the perspective of radiation protection professionals representing the 6 inhabited continents. Edited by 2 accomplished medical physicists with international standing, the ebook consists of contributions from 34 professionals from the ranks of health physics, medical physics, and clinical radiology. Although intended to be a textbook for medical physics students, this ebook would be a useful reference for all types of radiation protection professionals at all career levels. While global harmonization of medical radiation protection philosophy and regulations may be a long way off, this excellent ebook brings us closer to that.” ― Health Physics, September 2016
