Covering the 40-year history of human model development, the Handbook of Anatomical Models for Radiation Dosimetry presents all of the major anatomical and physical models that have been developed for human body radiation protection, diagnostic imaging, and nuclear medicine therapy. This comprehensive reference explores how these models have evolved over time and the role that modern technologies have played in this development. In addition, it evaluates the specific strengths of each model, discusses the wide range of applications available for these models, and addresses technical aspects of human modeling and computer simulations. The book also covers external radiation treatment.
