Textbook of Radiological Safety, 2/E for MSc Medical Physics, MD/DNB Radiology, Nuclear Medicine, and Radiation Oncology | RSO Exam Guide with Shielding Calculations and Model Layouts

Textbook of Radiological Safety, 2/E is a comprehensive, syllabus-aligned reference covering radiation physics, biology, protection standards, and facility planning across the full spectrum of medical radiation use: diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine, and radiation therapy. Structured across 19 chapters, it builds from foundational radiation quantities and units through radiation biology, protection standards, and hazard evaluation, before moving into practical facility planning, shielding calculations, and quality assurance for X-ray, CT, nuclear medicine, and radiotherapy installations. This edition incorporates the syllabus of MSc Medical Physics of Indian universities and addresses the regulatory framework governing radiation use in medicine, including AERB Safety Codes, dose limits for occupational workers and the public, and national/international radiation protection standards. Content is presented with worked numerical examples, model facility layout plans, and dedicated shielding-calculation walkthroughs for diagnostic X-ray, CT, linear accelerator, telecobalt, HDR brachytherapy, and CT simulator installations. The final chapters cover disposal of radioactive waste, transport of radioactive material, and the regulatory requirements for medical radiation facilities under National Medical Commission/Medical Universities and National Board guidelines. Who This Book Is For: MSc Medical Physics Students: A syllabus-mapped core text covering radiation quantities, biology, protection, and facility planning as prescribed by Indian universities. MD/DNB Radiology Postgraduates: Structured coverage of radiation protection, shielding, and QA specific to diagnostic radiology practice. Nuclear Medicine Postgraduates (MD/DNB): Dedicated chapters on nuclear medicine facility planning, quality assurance, and radiation protection, including PET-CT shielding design. Radiation Oncology Postgraduates (MD/DNB): Detailed shielding-calculation methods and QA protocols for linear accelerator, telecobalt, and HDR brachytherapy installations. Medical Physicists and RSO Aspirants: A preparatory reference for Radiological Safety Officer (RSO) certification examinations, also useful for nuclear medicine technologists. Why This Book Helps: Simplifies shielding design: Step-by-step shielding-calculation methods for diagnostic X-ray, CT, linear accelerator, telecobalt, HDR brachytherapy, and CT simulator installations. Structures regulatory compliance: Consolidates AERB Safety Codes, ICRP recommendations, and national/international radiation protection standards in one reference. Bridges theory and facility practice: Pairs radiation physics and biology fundamentals with practical facility planning and model layout plans. Covers the full radiation-use spectrum: Single text spanning diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine, and radiotherapy protection and safety, avoiding the need for multiple specialty references. Prepares for RSO certification: Directly addresses the preparatory examination requirements for Medical Physicists and Nuclear Medicine Technologists. Key Features: 19 chapters incorporating recent developments in radiological safety. 119 figures and 102 tables with worked examples for easy understanding. Dedicated shielding-calculation chapters for diagnostic X-ray, CT, linear accelerator, telecobalt, HDR brachytherapy, and CT simulator installations. Model facility layout plans for diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine, and radiotherapy installations. Covers radioactive waste disposal, transport of radioactive material, and AERB/National Board regulatory requirements for medical radiation facilities.
