Many remarkable medical technologies, diagnostic tools, and
treatment methods have emerged as a result of modern physics
discoveries in the last century--including X-rays, radiation
treatment, laser surgery, high-resolution ultrasound scans,
computerized tomography (CT) scans, and magnetic resonance imaging.
This undergraduate-level textbook describes the fundamental
physical principles underlying these technological advances,
emphasizing their applications to the practice of modern
medicine.
Intended for science and engineering students with one year of
introductory physics background, this textbook presents the medical
applications of fundamental principles of physics to students who
are considering careers in medical physics, biophysics, medicine,
or nuclear engineering. It also serves as an excellent reference
for advanced students, as well as medical and health researchers,
practitioners, and technicians who are interested in developing the
background required to understand the changing landscape of medical
science. Practice exercises are included and solutions are
available separately in an instructor's manual. Complete discussion
of the fundamental physical principles underlying modern
medicineAccessible exploration of the physics encountered in a
typical visit to a doctorPractice exercises are included and
solutions are provided in a separate instructor's manual (available
to professors)A companion website (modernphysicsinmedicine.com)
