Immunology has emerged as a key component of the curricula of graduate and postgraduate courses in biotechnology, microbiology, biochemistry, bioinformatics, and other interdisciplinary fields of biology, including zoology, veterinary science, and medicine.

This is the second in MPP's biennial series aimed at helping practicing medical physicists, technically-inclined physicians, and other interested professionals stay current in medical radiation science and technology. This volume covers 18 new and important topics in diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy. The book begins with updates on digital radiography, mammography, fluoroscopy, and MRI.

The book is a comprehensive practical introduction to radiotherapy physics. It provides detailed descriptions of current techniques, written by experienced practitioners, who review current methods and provide specific detailed practical guidance for external beam radiotherapy, and for the therapeutic use of sealed and unsealed radioactive sources.

This specialist handbook provides a comprehensive guide to modern radiotherapy practice, firmly based on unchanging principles. The author has described advanced radiotherapy techniques as well as simpler field-based arrangements.
