The fourth edition of the premier text in the field provides an authoritative overview of the current advances in the field of radiobiology. Concisely written, this book discusses the basic concepts of radiobiology and features a new chapter on techniques of molecular biology. New material on molecular genetics has been incorporated in the chapters on carcinogenesis, heritable effects of radiation and the effects on the developing embryo and fetus. It also provides coverage of tumor kinetics, acute and late radiation effects, tissue sensitivity and time-dose fractionation. Each chapter ends with a summary of key points for quick review.

International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, and Physics, 12-SEP-06, Volume 66, Issue 2, Robert J. Griffin, PhD, Department of Therapeutic Radiology-Radiation Oncology, University of Minnesota Medical School, Minneapolis, MN -- "Many refer to the textbook Radiobiology for the Radiologist as the "bible" of radiation biology for educating residents, researchers, and clinicians...The book still contains the material that has made it the best-known and most often-used radiation biology text. It includes new information and details that enhance its relevance to nuclear medicine, radiology and radiation oncology. For the most part, this is accomplished with a balanced viewpoint from each of the fields that contribute to the exciting and important field of radiation biology. As such, it should remain a primary teaching tool and reference point for researchers and clinicians alike."-International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, and Physics
