Radiobiology for the radiologist

Radiobiology for the radiologist / Eric J. Hall, Amato J. Giaccia.

"The seventh edition is the most radical revision of this textbook to date and now includes color figures, a visual transformation over the sixth edition. However, we were careful to retain the same format as the sixth edition, which divided the book into two parts. Part I contains 17 chapters...
