Excellent- More about An Introduction to Physics in Medicine
The book will cover the properties of biological tissue, interactions with the tissue, diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, and physiological measurement. It will be separated into a qualitative and advanced section with a Health Warning for advanced students.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 356 pages
Publication date: 12 June 2023
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc
The book's content will be extensively drawn from various undergraduate modules taught by the author within their department, including Applied Nuclear Physics, Physics of Medical Imaging, Physics Applied to Physiological Measurement, Laser Photomedicine, and Biomaterials Physics. However, it will also incorporate material from other sources to provide a comprehensive and interdisciplinary understanding of the subject matter.
The primary objective of the book is to provide a comprehensive introduction to the properties of biological tissue and its interactions with various external factors. It will begin by covering the fundamental characteristics of biological tissue, including its composition, structure, and biological functions. This foundational knowledge will be used to explore the subsequent chapters, which will focus on the interactions between biological tissue and various physical phenomena, such as radiation, heat, and electromagnetic fields.
Diagnostic and therapeutic techniques will be presented in detail, with an emphasis on their applications in medical imaging, radiation therapy, and other fields. The book will also include a section with more technical detail for physiological measurement, covering topics such as signal processing, data analysis, and instrumentation.
To enhance the understanding of the subject matter, the material will be divided into two main sections. The first section will focus on qualitative explanations, highlighting the underlying physics principles and their applications to biological tissue. This section will be accessible to students with a basic understanding of physics and mathematics. The second section, marked with a "Health Warning," will delve into more advanced topics and mathematical rigor, suitable for students with a strong background in physics and mathematics.
In conclusion, this book aims to provide a comprehensive and interdisciplinary introduction to the properties of biological tissue and its interactions with various physical phenomena. It will be valuable for students, researchers, and professionals in the fields of medicine, physics, and engineering.
