Radiation dosimetry has made great progress in the last decade, mainly because radiation therapy is much more widely used. Since the first edition, many new developments have been made in the basic methods for dosimetry, i.e. ionization chambers, TLD, chemical dosimeters, and photographic films. Radiation Dosimetry: Instrumentation and Methods, Second Edition brings to the reader these latest developments. Written at a high level for medical physicists, engineers, and advanced dosimetrists, it concentrates only on evolvement during the last decade, relying on the first edition to provide the basics.

This reference book covers the most important electronic systems used in nuclear measurements. It begins with discussions of the basic concepts of electronics, providing an excellent introduction for newcomers, or a helpful review for those with some knowledge of electronics. By covering the fundamental methods and concepts of signal analysis, including counting, energy distribution, time distribution, and particle identification, the book provides a basis for the reader on which she or he can more easily and thoroughly understand the actual components of measurement systems. The sections following the basic material in Electronics for Radiation Measurements describe those circuits needed for nuclear radiation measurements. Various functions of the preamplifier are explained in detail. The most common systems for pulse analysis are discussed, as are modern data acquisition systems used in large-scale experiments where large quantities of data are obtained simultaneously and must be sorted and stored. Auxiliary and essential circuits, such as voltage dividers for photomultiplier tubes and high voltage supplies, are also covered and illustrated with practical examples. This is an invaluable reference for all researchers in nuclear electronics and nuclear physics.
