Medical Physics covers the applied branch of physics concerned with
the application of concepts and methods of physics to diagnostics
and therapeutics of human diseases. The first part, Physical and
Physiological Aspects of the Body, covers those body systems that
have a strong physical component, such as body mechanics, energy
household, action potential, signal transmission in neurons,
respiratory and circulatory system as well as visual and sound
perception. The second part of this volume, Imaging Modalities
without Ionizing Radiation, introduces sonography, endoscopy, and
magnetic resonance imaging. The second volume complements the
imaging modalities with the use of ionizing radiation: x-ray
radiography, scintigraphy, SPECT, and PET. This first part is
followed by chapters on radiation treatment of tumors, in
particular x-ray radiotherapy, proton and neutron radiation
therapy, and brachytherapy. The last part treats aspects of
diagnostics and therapeutics beyond radiology, including laser
applications, multifunctional nanoparticles and prosthetics. This
first volume - connects the basic principles of physics with the
functionality of the body and with physical methods used for
diagnostics and therapeutics. - covers the first part of the entire
field, including the physics of the body and imaging methods
without the use of ionizing radiation. - provides an introduction
for Bachelor students to the main concepts of Medical Physics
during their first semesters guiding them to further specialized
and advanced literature. - contains many questions & answers
related to the content of each chapter. - is also available as a
set together with Volume 2. Contents Part A: Physical and
physiological aspects of the body Brief overview of body parts and
functions Body mechanics and muscles Elastomechanics: bones and
fractures Energy household of the body Resting potential and action
potential Signal transmission in neurons Electrophysical aspects of
the heart The circulatory system The respiratory system Kidneys
Basic mechanism of vision Sound and sound perception Part B:
Imaging modalities without ionizing radiation Sonography Endoscopy
Magnetic resonance imaging Questions & answers
