Radiation protection is a broad area within medical physics and radiology. This multi-authored text covers the breadth of the field. The contents is divided into four parts leading from the theoretical background needed for the use of ionising radiations in medicine. The first part covers the key knowledge needed to understand radiation protection. The second part takes a practially-orientated approach to the principles, techniques and legislation in the field. The third and fourth parts cover solutions for radiation protection for firstly ionising radiation, and the non-ionising radiation, an area which is often neglected in other texts. 'Practical Radiation Protection in Healthcare' is a practical guide for medical physicists and others whose work involves any aspect of hospital radiation protection. Written by workers experienced in the field, the book includes discussion of general radiation protection principles and provides detailed coverage of specialist topic areas involving both ionising and non-ionising radiations. The book provides guidance on methods that may be used to tackle the wide range of tasks that a physicist working in this area might encounter and should provide the first port of call when a problem in radiation protection is encountered. The book has been written in a format to allow easy reference, so that it can be used as a working guide as well as a textbook. Throughout, the emphasis is on a practical approach. The first half of the book covers general principles and topics applicable to all areas of radiation protection. The subject is dealt with in general terms, with descriptions of techniques and methods required to implement radiation protection measures. The chapters covering background material provide the basic knowledge which is important in understanding the subject. The second half of the book deals with practical guidance on the approach and techniques used in hospitals. The book contains comprehensive coverage of all areas that a radiation protection physicist would encounter. Each specialist area is covered in a separate chapter to allow easy reference with individual chapters being assigned to different types of non-ionising radiations. Qualified and trainee medical physicists, lecturers, radiographers, radiologists and those working with non-ionising radiation will find this an invaluable guide to the field of radiation protection.

The FDA has recently approved the sales of the new weight loss product, Alli Tablets for over the counter use in the US. If you are interested in weight loss medicine and would like to look at how to buy Alli then the Alli Weight Loss site would be a good starting point in your research. A great follow up for discussion would then be the Orlistat Forum For Alli and Xenical Weight Loss Medication where you can further ivestigate the Alli Forums and the Xenical Forums. Do look through the diabetes forum for some of the latest diabetes news online.
