Beginning with a discussion of the basic science of radiobiology, the book explains the fast processes that initiate damage in irradiated tissue and the kinetic patterns in which such damage is expressed at the cellular level. The final section is presented in a highly practical handbook style and offers application-based discussions in radiation oncology, fractionated radiotherapy, and protracted radiation among others. The text is also supplemented by a Web site.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Anatomy and Physiology 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 The Cell 19\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Radiation Characteristics and Units 41\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Radiation Interactions with Tissue 61\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Cell Survival Curves 81\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Dna and Genetics 105\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Radiation Damage and Repair of Cells 125\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Normal and Malignant Cells 145\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Radiation Effects on Tissues and Organs 161\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Whole Body Radiation Effects 179\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 Radiation Treatment of Cancer 191\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 Radiation Biology of Diagnostic Imaging 203\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e13 Nuclear Medicine Radiation Biology 219\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e14 Environmental Radiation 241\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e15 Regulations and Risk 255\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e16 Biological Effects of Ultrasound 269\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e17 Biological Effects of Magnetic Resonance Imaging 281\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnswers to Odd-numbered Questions 297\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 301\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Other branches of medicine [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Other branches of medicine\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Other%20branches%20of%20medicine%20%5BMM%5D%22\"\u003eMM\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52276363198744,"sku":"9780470551776","price":68.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780470551776.jpg?v=1781367441","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/radiation-biology-of-medical-imaging-hardback-9780470551776","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
