Book Description
The application of physics principles to medicine is a popular topic for study at A level. It is offered as an option by AQA, Edexcel and OCR and is part of the core for CCEA. The International Baccalaureate also includes many aspects of medical physics.
This text has been written to cover the requirements of all the boards. It, and the courses it supports, provide an introduction for anyone intending to embark on a career within the field of medicine.
It should also be of general interest since medical practices affect everyone.
The series has been designed by John Murray in association with the Institute of Physics to provide students with pertinent information on areas of physics that have developed rapidly.
