Medizinische Physik 3: Medizinische Laserphysik

Die medizinische Physik hat sich in den letzten Jahren zunehmend als interdisziplinäres Gebiet profiliert. Um dem Bedarf nach systematischer Weiterbildung von Physikern, die an medizinischen Einrichtungen tätig sind, gerecht zu werden, wurde das vorliegende Werk geschaffen. Es basiert auf dem Heidelberger Kurs für medizinische Physik.

Re-irradiation: New Frontiers

New advancements similar to subtle mixed modality methods and demanding technical advances in radiation therapy making plans and supply are facilitating the re-irradiation of formerly uncovered volumes. for this reason, either palliative and healing ways may be pursued at a variety of illness websites.

Merrill's Atlas of Radiographic Positions & Radiologic Procedures, Vol 3

Widely known because the most useful of positioning texts, this highly-regarded, accomplished source gains greater than four hundred projections and ideal full-color illustrations augmented via MRI pictures for extra element to reinforce the anatomy and positioning displays. In 3 volumes, it covers initial steps in radiography, radiation defense, and terminology, in addition to anatomy and positioning details in separate chapters for every bone staff or organ procedure.

Repulsion-attraction of magnets. When the like poles of two magnets are close to each other, their force fields will repel each other. No matter how hard you try, you will not be able to make the two magnets touch. If you take one of the magnets and turn it so that the opposite pole is now facing the other magnet, their unlike poles will attract each other and the magnets will slam together. It will take a lot of force to separate these two magnets. The Earth’s south magnetic pole lies under the ice in northern Canada while the north magnetic pole lies near Australia.

As we discussed in Chapter 1, the concept of electric charges can be seen at the atomic level, in positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. The negatively charged electrons travel around atoms in orbital shells. Loosely bound electrons can be made to jump or move from one object to another object. The most familiar example of this is static electricity. In this chapter, we discuss how the movement of electrons, which are the basic charged particles, can cause electric charges on a larger level.

Ferromagnetic materials—including iron, cobalt, and nickel—are made up of small groups of atoms called magnetic domains. These domains act like tiny magnets inside the material. In the nonmagnetized state the domains are randomly oriented, so there is no net magnetization. When a ferromagnetic material is placed in a magnetic field the domains are aligned. After the magnetic field is removed, the domains remain aligned forming a permanent magnet. Alnico is an alloy made of aluminum, nickel, and cobalt.
