Introduction to Radiological Physics and Radiation DosimetryA straightforward presentation of the broad concepts underlying radiological physics and radiation dosimetry for the graduate-level student. Covers photon and neutron attenuation, radiation and charged particle equilibrium, interactions of photons and charged particles with matter, radiotherapy dosimetry, as well as photographic, calorimetric, chemical, and thermoluminescence dosimetry. Includes many new derivations, such as Kramers X-ray spectrum, as well as topics that have not been thoroughly analyzed in other texts, such as broad-beam attenuation and geometrics, and the reciprocity theorem. Subjects are layed out in a logical sequence, making the topics easier for students to follow. Supplemented with numerous diagrams and tables. |

Page 30 - X— the quotient of dQ by dm, where dQ is the absolute value of the total charge of the ions of one sign produced in air when all the electrons (negatrons and positrons) liberated by photons in a volume element of air having mass dm are completely stopped in air. dm unit: NOTE 2 — Formerly the special unit of exposure was the roentgen (R). 1 R - 2.58 x 10-4 C-kg-' (exactly) 4.3 absorbed-dose rate — the absorbed dose per unit time interval.

Page 255 - In a medium of given composition exposed to a uniform flux of primary radiations (such as X- or gamma rays or neutrons), the flux of secondary radiation is also uniform and independent of the density of the medium as well as of the density variations from point to point.
Page 160 - Most of these interactions individually transfer only minute fractions of the incident particle's kinetic energy, and it is convenient to think of the particle as losing its kinetic energy gradually in a frictionlike process, often referred to as the "continuous slowing-down approximation
Page 256 - Consider a unit of volume in the material through which the y rays are passing, and suppose the y rays to be of equal intensity at all places in the material : if this condition is not quite realised in experiment, we can easily allow for the defect. The sum total of all the portions of the paths of /3 particles which are completed within the unit of volume in each second is proportional to two things, (a) the number of /3 rays originated in each unit of mass of the substance (this is nearly independent...

Page viii - After the recommendations of the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU) and standardization by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), gain is defined as a conversion factor expressed in (output) luminance in cd-m~2 per (input) exposure rate in rnR-s~
Page 256 - ... The sum total of all the portions of the paths of / 3 particles which are completed within the unit of volume in each second is proportional to two things, (a) the number of /3 rays originated in each unit of mass of the substance (this is nearly independent of the nature of the substance where the 7 rays are very penetrating), (b) the range d. This would be true even if d were not actually the same for every ray but were only an average. This statement will perhaps be more obvious when it is...
Page 295 - But the power density of non-focused radiation, which is normally the case for leakage, decreases in proportion to the inverse square of the distance from the source.
Page 200 - T is set by the maximum energy that can be transferred to an electron in a single collision.
