Features: This book is compiled based on the research achievements in medical imaging radiation protection in recent years and the needs of teaching practice. The book is divided into 15 chapters, introducing fundamental nuclear physics and commonly used quantities in radiation protection, the biological principles of ionizing radiation, radiation biological effects, the impact of ionizing radiation on the human hematopoietic and immune systems, diagnosis and treatment of radiation diseases, basic standards of ionizing radiation protection and radiation source safety, management of radioactive waste, ionizing radiation protection and image quality assurance in medical applications, internal dose estimation and protection of items containing radioactive substances, as well as nutrition and health care and non-ionizing radiation protection. This book emphasizes theoretical elaboration while also collecting a large amount of survey data, national standards, international standards, and relevant reference data. Therefore, it can serve as a trial textbook for medical imaging majors in higher education institutions, a training manual for radiation protection in health management departments, and a reference book for clinical doctors and radiation-related personnel.
