Radiation measurements in medical and industrial applications

Abstract

Radiation is utilized in a variety of fields, taking advantage of its characteristics. In particular, it is widely used in the medical field, such as radiation therapy and diagnostics, and in the industrial field, such as non-destructive testing and sterilization. In these applications of radiation, not only the source of radiation but also the measurement technique of radiation is an important factor. In this lecture, I would like to introduce the current status and future prospects of radiation applications in the medical and industrial fields, as well as the radiation measurements that are necessary for each of these fields.
