This book is intended as a textbook for a course in medical physics in the university for the first year students of the medical ,dental ,pharmacology , and assistances colleges as graduate programs. The book may also be of interest to the large number of professionals, not only physicists, who in their daily occupations deal with various aspects of medical physics and have a need to improve their understanding of physics in medicine . Medical physics is a branch of physics concerned with the application of physics to medicine.It is concerned with the application of physics to medicine mainly, but not exclusively, in the application of light, laser , sound , electricity, ionizing radiation temperature, forces, and nanophysics to diagnosis and treatment of human disease.The main target audience for this book is graduate students in medical physics and these students are assumed to possess the necessary background in physics and mathematics to be able to follow and master the complete textbook. Medical residents, technology students and biomedical engineering students, on the other hand, may find certain sections too challenging or esoteric; however, there are many sections in the book that they may find useful and interesting in their studies.It contains thirteen chapters, each chapter covering a specific group of subjects related to radiation physics that, in my opinion, formthe basic knowledge required from professionals working in contemporary medical physics. Most of the subjects covered in this textbook can be found discussed in greater detail in many other specialized physics texts, such as quantum mechanics, modern physics, etc.; however, these texts are aimed at students in a specific physics specialty. They provide more in-depth knowledge of the particular specialty but provide no evident link with medical physics.To recognize the importance of terminology , Appendix 1, provides terminology in medicine and dents. In diagnostic procedures relatively low energy x rays (diagnostic radiology) and gammarays (nuclear medicine) are used; in therapeutic procedures most commonly high energy (megavoltage) x rays and gamma rays or megavoltage electrons are used (radiation therapyor radiation oncology or therapeutic radiology). Other applications of physics to medicine include the use of nuclear mag-netic resonance in diagnosis of disease (magnetic resonance imaging), ultra-sound in imaging, bioelectrical investigations of the brain (electroencephalog-raphy) and heart (electrocardiography), biomagnetic investigations of the brain (magnetoencephalography), medical uses of infrared radiation (thermog-raphy), heat for cancer therapy (hyperthermia), and lasers for surgery (laser surgery).The four important sub-specialties in medical physics are related to:1. Diagnostic imaging with x rays (diagnostic radiology physics).2. Diagnostic imaging with radio-nuclides (nuclear medicine physics).3. Treatment of cancer with ionizing radiation (radiation oncology physics).4. Study of radiation hazards and radiation protection (health physics).

Covering topics in Radiobiology, Modern Physics, Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy, Foundations of Medical Physics serves as an introduction to the field of Medical Physics, or Radiation Oncology Physics. An overview of the history of cancer and cancer treatment along with a brief introduction to the fundamental principles of Radiobiology constitute Part I of this book, which serves as the motivation for the principles of Radiation Therapy, or cancer treatment with radiation. Part II contains the fundamental ideas from Modern Physics that form the foundation for an understanding of the approaches to treatment used in Radiation Therapy. Finally, Part III shows the applications of Parts I and II to Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy. This unusual introduction to Medical Physics is aimed at undergraduate physics majors along with other science majors who have taken at least one year of Physics and one year of calculus, although Medical Physics graduate students and radiation oncology residents may find this different approach to the subject illuminating. This text assumes that the instructor is a physicist who does not necessarily have a background in Medical Physics.

The textbook Basics of Medical Physics describes the basics of medical physics and the clinical and experimental methods which a physician can be frequently encountered with. Medical physics is specific in dealing with the application of physical methods on a living organism. Therefore, it represents an interdisciplinary scientific discipline that combines physics and biological sciences. The presented textbook covers a broad range of topics; it contains eight chapters: Structure of Matter; Molecular Biophysics; Thermodynamics; Biophysics of Electric Phenomena; Acoustics and Physical Principles of Hearing; Optics; X-ray Physics and Medical Application; Radioactivity and Ionizing Radiation. The text is supplemented by many figures, which help to facilitate the understanding of the phenomena. Methods, which are explained in the book, are based on the different physical principles. Some of these methods, e.g. using optical magnifying lenses or X-rays, have been known for more than 100 years, while others are more recent such as magnetic resonance imaging or positron emission tomography. After reading this book, the readers should get a comprehensive overview of the possibilities of using various physical methods in medicine. They should be able to understand to the mentioned physical relations in the broader context.

Spreading to every corner of the Earth, the COVID-19 virus has had an unparalleled impact on all aspects of our lives. This book explores in detail how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected clinical practice, education, and research in medical physics, and how colleagues on the frontline dealt with this unpredictable and unprecedented pandemic. It tackles key questions such as: How did medical physicists first respond to the situation? What innovative strategies were taken and how effective were they? How are medical physicists preparing for the future? There will be a focus on the different experiences of regional medical physicists and the responses and outlooks in clinical practice, education, and research in the affected continents, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Europe, Africa and North and Latin America. With over 91 contributors from 39 countries, this unique resource contains key perspectives from teams from each territory to ensure a global range of accounts. The collective opinion and wisdom from the major medical physics journal editors-in-chief are also explored, alongside how the pandemic has affected the quantity and quality of publications. Voices of early-career researchers and students of medical physics will be included, with narratives of their experiences coping with life during the pandemic. Lastly, communicating leadership in times of adversity is highlighted. This book will be a historic account of the impact of the COVID-19 virus on the field of medical physics.
