A canonical approach to Cherenkov radiation in the presence of a magnetodielectric medium is presented in classical, nonrelativistic and relativistic quantum regimes. The equations of motion for the canonical variables are solved explicitly for both positive and negative times. Maxwell and related constitute equations are obtained. In the large-time limit, the vector potential operator is found and expressed in terms of the medium operators. The energy loss of a charged particle, emitted in the form of radiation, in finite temperature is calculated. A Dirac equation concerning the relativistic motion of the particle in presence of the magnetodielectric medium is derived and the relativistic Cherenkov radiation at zero and finite temperature is investigated. Finally, it is shown that the Cherenkov radiation in nonrelativistic and relativistic quantum regimes, unlike its classical counterpart, introduces automatically a cutoff for higher frequencies beyond which the power of radiation emission is zero.
