Medical Physics During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Global Perspectives in Clinical Practice, Education and Research: Focus Series in Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering

Editat de Kwan Hoong Ng, Magdalena S. Stoeva
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 sep 2022
Spreading to every corner of the Earth, the COVID-19 virus has had an unparalleled impact on all aspects of our lives. This book explores in detail how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected clinical practice, education, and research in medical physics, and how colleagues on the frontline dealt with this unpredictable and unprecedented pandemic. It tackles key questions such as: How did medical physicists first respond to the situation? What innovative strategies were taken and how effective were they? How are medical physicists preparing for the future?
There will be a focus on the different experiences of regional medical physicists and the responses and outlooks in clinical practice, education, and research in the affected continents, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Europe, Africa and North and Latin America. With over 91 contributors from 39 countries, this unique resource contains key perspectives from teams from each territory to ensure a global range of accounts.
The collective opinion and wisdom from the major medical physics journal editors-in-chief are also explored, alongside how the pandemic has affected the quantity and quality of publications. Voices of early-career researchers and students of medical physics will be included, with narratives of their experiences coping with life during the pandemic. Lastly, communicating leadership in times of adversity is highlighted.
This book will be a historic account of the impact of the COVID-19 virus on the field of medical physics. It will be an ideal reference for medical physicists, medical physics trainees and students, hospital administrators, regulators, and healthcare professionals allied with medical physics.
Key features:
  • The first book to cover the impact of COVID-19 on the field of medical physics
  • Edited by two experts in the field, with chapter contributions from subject area specialists around the world
  • Broad, global coverage, ranging from the impact on teaching, research, and publishing, with unique perspectives from journal editors and students and trainees

Recenzii

"The book studies the COVID-19 pandemic and how it has affected the medical physics field from an educational, research, clinical point of view as well as other relevant issues. The book introduces solutions and innovative strategies that can be implemented and the procedures how the effectiveness of the approaches can be verified. The book interestingly collects the worldwide experience, exploring the interactions of many regions with the pandemic, from North and Latin America, Europe, Africa, to Asia–Pacific and Middle East. A large number of contributors from a wide range of countries (39 countries) with a vast range of experiences from high qualified scientists to early career researchers and students are included in a comprehensive survey. With all abovementioned aspects, the book can be nominated as a favoured reference either in the field of medical physics or other communities with common field of interests…Although the book is concentrated on the COVID-19 pandemic related issues, it provides a bigger picture for the Medical Physics community to figure out, such as how certain challenges and critical situations can be managed and how the leadership system should provide appropriate plans before the occurrence of any critical points. The study of the book is highly recommended for Medical Physicists especially for those who are involved with administrative issues."
