A Practical Guide to 3-D Planning and Conformal Radiation Therapy describes both the technical implementation and the clinical treatment aspects of 3-D planning.
This book is essential for radiation oncologists, medical physicists, dosimetrists, treatment planning system developers, and other professionals who need in-depth information about the implementation of 3-D planning and conformal radiation therapy.
Monitor Unit Calculations for External Photon and Electron Beams
in radiation oncology covers the information you need for implementing the formalism of Monitor Unit Dose Calculations. The main objective of these practical methods is to enable the physicists/doimetrists to perform monitor unit dose calculations using these protocols within their radiation oncology department.
Biological Models and Their Applications in Radiation Oncology
This book presents the most widely used biophysical models for fractionated external beam radiation therapy and brachytherapy. The main equations for each model are derived and presented together with extensive clinical examples designed to help show how the models are used in daily clinical practice. Each model is examined, the main critical and weak points of each model are discussed, and some of the mathematics behind the more complicated models are explained. The book is intended specificaly for actual daily clinical attention. This book is highly recommended for residents, radiation oncologists, radiation biologists, radiobiologists, and other professionals in radiation therapy.
The Invisible Passenger: Radiation Risks for People Who Fly Radiation exposure while flying is an issue most of us never think about. Until now, there was no information
on this topic available to flight crew members, corporate flyers, or any other member of the general public -
the people who most need to know.
