Handbook of Anatomical Models for Radiation Dosimetry

by Xie George Xu (Editor), Keith F. Eckerman (Editor)

Overview

Over the past few decades, the radiological science community has developed and applied numerous models of the human body for radiation protection, diagnostic imaging, and nuclear medicine therapy. The Handbook of Anatomical Models for Radiation Dosimetry provides a comprehensive review of the development and application of these computational mode
