Radiation physics is the branch of physics that studies the effects of radiation on matter. This field has been instrumental in providing improved manufacturing processes, nuclear energy, and advanced medical diagnostic and treatment options. With particular emphasis on radiation protection and dosimetry, this book deals with statistical solutions to problems inherent in health physics measurements and decision making.
