Description
This book is about a professor who has spent a lot of time in the medical field and has had a lot of experience with physics. It tells the story of his life and how he has helped to develop medical physics. It also includes pictures from when he was working in the medical field.
When Professor J.E. Roberts was first employed at the then Cancer Hospital (Free) in 1932, the words medical and physics were rarely joined together. Meandering in Medical Physics presents an account of Professor Roberts's experiences in professional life, both in the United Kingdom and overseas. It documents the early history of medical physics and provides insight into the very basic equipment and working conditions well known to hospital physicists not long ago. Enhanced by archived photographs from the British Institute of Radiology, the book will entertain, enlighten, and educate.
