Features: Compared to previous similar textbooks, this book has the following characteristics:
(1) In response to the current situation of radiation from constantly updated medical imaging techniques and equipment, it strengthens the introduction of fundamental knowledge, measurement methods, and protective measures of electronic radiation and other types of radiation, building upon the traditional focus on X-ray physics and protection in previous textbooks.
(2) Current research on radiation biological effects has reached the molecular level. This book traces the trajectory of scientific development, introducing classic content with principled emphasis while also incorporating deeper, newer insights into radiation biological effects.
(3) It adds content on the protection of interventional diagnostics and treatments.
(4) Based on new documents revised and issued by authoritative institutions such as the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) and the National Health Commission, it supplements the latest content on radiation protection standards and legal regulations.
(5) The entire book highlights its distinctive features, making it more suitable for classroom teaching and student reading comprehension. At the end of each chapter, there are three levels of learning guides, along with corresponding exercises and reference answers, to facilitate students' digestion, understanding, and review. The book progresses from simple to complex, systematically and progressively, taking into account both students' starting points and the introduction of new knowledge.
