Radiation oncologists are typically give Khan's book as the bible for physics study for the boards. The problem with Khan is that its dense, turgid prose presumes a background in physics. Most of us aren't Phds in the field. Johns and Cunningham is worse in that it may as well be the text towards getting you that PhD.
Mind you, you'll still need Khan around to fill in someblanks.This book is particularly thin on brachy and radioisotopes. But this book touches upon all the topics you need to know. It is an excellent primer for the average radonc resident looking to get the concepts and formulations behind rad physics, to pass the boards, and ultimately, to hire her own physicist for the clinic.
