Spreading to every corner of the Earth, the COVID-19 virus has had
an unparalleled impact on all aspects of our lives. This book
explores in detail how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected clinical
practice, education, and research in medical physics, and how
colleagues on the frontline dealt with this unpredictable and
unprecedented pandemic. It tackles key questions such as: How did
medical physicists first respond to the situation? What innovative
strategies were taken and how effective were they? How are medical
physicists preparing for the future? There will be a focus on the
different experiences of regional medical physicists and the
responses and outlooks in clinical practice, education, and
research in the affected continents, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East,
Europe, Africa and North and Latin America. With over 91
contributors from 39 countries, this unique resource contains key
perspectives from teams from each territory to ensure a global
range of accounts. The collective opinion and wisdom from the major
medical physics journal editors-in-chief are also explored,
alongside how the pandemic has affected the quantity and quality of
publications. Voices of early-career researchers and students of
medical physics will be included, with narratives of their
experiences coping with life during the pandemic. Lastly,
communicating leadership in times of adversity is highlighted. This
book will be a historic account of the impact of the COVID-19 virus
on the field of medical physics. It will be an ideal reference for
medical physicists, medical physics trainees and students, hospital
administrators, regulators, and healthcare professionals allied
with medical physics. Key features: The first book to cover the
impact of COVID-19 on the field of medical physics Edited by two
experts in the field, with chapter contributions from subject area
specialists around the world Broad, global coverage, ranging from
the impact on teaching, research, and publishing, with unique
perspectives from journal editors and students and trainees

This book is the product of a unique collaboration by experts from
leading international, regional and national agencies and
professional organizations discussing on the current 'hot' issue on
the judicious use and safety of radiation in radiology. There have
been several cases involving radiation overexposure that have
received international attention. Strategies and solutions to guide
readers how to maximize the benefits and minimize the risks when
using radiation in medicine are covered.

This book reports on the investigation of the public's perception
of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Field (RF-EMF) radiation effects
on health and well-being, in Malaysia. It elaborates on how
understanding the impact of perceived risk is essential in order to
investigate the explanatory value and effectiveness of
interventions influencing these beliefs. The book expands on the
knowledge and understanding of different risk perception related to
radiation in order to explain the gap in literature regarding the
relationship between risk perceptions that lead to public
behaviors. In doing so, the book presents empirical findings of a
national study that unveils two key factors affecting public risk
perceptions: psycho-graphic and personal factors. It offers a more
collective and cultural understanding of public perceptions on
radiation risks via a systematic mixed-method research approach.
Research in the book also show that while the radiation risk is
recognizable and unavoidable, the relevant stakeholders should be
more proactive and committed to communicate and rectify the
perception of radiation. The book thus serves as a valuable source
of reference to understand the debate and to invite more
participatory dialogues on radiation risk perceptions among public.
