Primer on Radiation Oncology Physics: Video Tutorials with Textbook and Problems

Primer on Radiation Oncology Physics: Video Tutorials with Textbook and Problems, now in its second edition, provides over 60 tutorial videos (each 15-20 minutes in length) with a companion text and is the most complete and effective introduction to medical physics available. The textbook and videos are the result of decades of Dr. Ford’s teaching experience with a variety of learners from different backgrounds. They have rapidly become a must-have resource in the field and are valuable for both early learners and those seeking a refresher.
