What is Medical physics. Cameron JR, and Skofronick JG, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., New York, 1978. $21.95 about?

The goal of the authors is their feeling of the need to present health related students the the importance of physics as it is currently applied in medical and paramedical areas. The book is designed primarily for students who might plan a career in some field of medicine. It seems to cover two broad areas of medical physics: (1) the application of physics, such as mechanics, light, sound, electricity, and magnetism to medicine and (2) the principles of physics involved in the functioning of various organ systems, such as the eye, ear, lung, heart, and circulatory system. Since one of the most important applications of physics in medicine relates to the field of radiology, there are four chapters on diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine, radiotherapy, and radiation protection.Although the book was written primarily for students going into the field of medicine, it may provide the practicing physician with an opportunity to understand better some of the applications of the principles of physics as used in medicine. There is broad coverage of medicine, hence many may feel it does not cover in sufficient detail subjects of their particular interest. For example, the section on ultras
