En savoir plus sur le livre
This volume explores the application of physics in diagnosing and treating human diseases. It begins with an examination of body systems that heavily involve physical principles, such as mechanics, energy metabolism, action potentials, and signal transmission in neurons, along with the respiratory and circulatory systems, and sensory perception. The second part introduces imaging techniques that do not use ionizing radiation, including sonography, endoscopy, and magnetic resonance imaging. The subsequent volume focuses on imaging methods that utilize ionizing radiation, such as x-ray radiography, scintigraphy, SPECT, and PET, followed by chapters on radiation therapies for tumors, including x-ray radiotherapy, proton and neutron therapies, and brachytherapy. The final section addresses diagnostics and therapeutics beyond radiology, covering topics like laser applications, multifunctional nanoparticles, and prosthetics. This volume connects fundamental physics principles with bodily functions and diagnostic methods, serving as an introductory resource for Bachelor students in Medical Physics. It includes questions and answers for each chapter, facilitating comprehension, and is available as part of a set with the second volume.
