Buchcover - Hartmut Zabel: Medical Physics / Physical Aspects of Diagnostics - ISBN 978-3-11-075702-6
Review of the 1rst edition:
„I used both volumes for my Medical Physics class and what I can say is that the students and myself loved it! The first volume discusses very well the physics of the human body while the second one discusses more the instrumentation. Overall, a very complete set of books for either a one-semester or a two-semester class.“

Hartmut Zabel: Medical Physics / Physical Aspects of Diagnostics
von Hartmut ZabelThe updated edition of the second of three volumes on Medical Physics presents modern physical methods for medical diagnostics. It provides a solid background on imaging techniques that use non-ionizing probes (ultrasound, endoscopy including CLE and OCT, MRI) and imaging techniques that use ionizing radiation (X-ray radiography, CT, SPECT, PET). Radiation sources, interactions of radiation with matter and radiation protection for x-rays, -rays, protons and neutrons are presented. Some of these topics are also relevant to the therapeutic applications presented in Volume 3. NEW: highlighted boxes emphasize specifi c topics; math boxes explain more advanced mathematical issues; each chapter concludes with a summary of the key concepts, questions, a self-assessment of the acquired competence and exercises. The appendix provides answers to questions and solutions to exercises.
