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.
New advancements akin to subtle mixed modality methods and demanding technical advances in radiation remedy making plans and supply are facilitating the re-irradiation of formerly uncovered volumes. for this reason, either palliative and healing techniques may be pursued at a number of illness websites.
Merrill's Atlas of Radiographic Positions & Radiologic Procedures, Vol 3
