Elements of Radiobiology

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Emerging from the estimable Doctor Selman's own teaching experience, this book gives radiologic technologists and beginning radiology residents a clear, authoritative guide to the essentials of radiobiology. A short historical introduction precedes discussions of pertinent physics and cellular biology and of their interplay: modes of action of x and gamma rays, cell and tissue response, cellular radiosensitivity, and factors affecting cell response to ionizing radiation. A third of the book is devoted to the vital topic of radiation hazards. It covers whole body effects, hazards to embryo and fetus, late effects on tissues, genetic effects, and health physics. The text concludes with explanations of radiation oncology, available radiation modalities, and radiotherapy.
