This book summarizes the basics of radiation physics that professionals working in medical physics need to master for efficient and safe dealings with ionizing radiation. It contains eight chapters, each covering a specific group of subjects related to radiation physics and is intended as a textbook for a course in radiation physics in medical-physics graduate programs. However, the book may also be of interest to the large number of professionals, not only medical physicists, who in their daily occupation deal with various aspects of medical physics and find a need to improve their understanding of radiation physics. The main target audience for this book is graduate students studying for M.Sc. or Ph.D. degrees in medical physics, and these students are assumed to possess the necessary physics and mathematics background knowledge to be able to follow and master the complete textbook.
