Physics of CT Dosimetry

<p>This book explores the physics of CT dosimetry and provides practical guidance on best practice for medical researchers and practitioners. A rigorous description of the basic physics of CT dosimetry is presented and illustrates flaws of the current methodology. </p><p>It also contains helpful (and rigorous) shortcuts to reduce the measurement workload for medical physicists. The mathematical rigor is accompanied by easily-understood physical explanations and numerous illustrative figures.</p><p><strong>Features:</strong></p><ul> <li>Authored by a recognised expert in the field and award-winning teacher</li> <li>Includes derivations for tube current modulation and variable pitch as well as stationary table techniques</li> <li>Explores abnormalities present in dose-tracking software based on CTDI and presents methods to correct them</li> </ul>
