Advances in Biological and Medical Physics, Volume 10 focuses on the application of physics to biology and medicine. The topics covered in this book include effects of ionizing radiation on the nervous system; use of short-lived nuclides in medical research; and biological effects of laser radiation. The tracer techniques for the study of bone metabolism in man; elastic reservoir theories of the human circulation with applications to clinical medicine and to computer analysis of the circulation; and implantable cardiac pacemakers are also deliberated in this text. This publication is a good source for students and researchers conducting work on biological and medical physics.
