1]. It is relatively cheap, safe, gives real time images and has good soft tissue contrast. As well as anatomical detail, ultrasound can exploit the Doppler effect to give information…
Chapter 3). Ion chambers can be used for such measurements; they have the advantage that they have a relatively uniform response over a wide range of energies and can be…
Legislative requirements Until 1985, there were no legislative requirements specifically relating to the use of radiation in place within the UK. The use of radiation in medicine was relatively well…
