Description:
This work effectively responds to the pressing need for a clinically-
oriented textbook that focuses on all aspects of intensity modulated
radiation therapy (IMRT). Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy: A
Clinical Perspective is divided into three sections: Fundamentals, Clinical
Implementation, and Clinical Sites. The book aims to provide a “practical
approach” oriented text for radiation oncologists and physicists
interested in commencing or expanding an IMRT program. It discusses
the fundamentals of IMRT including physics and biology and provides a
site-by-site review (i.e. breast, prostate, etc) of IMRT treatment
techniques and outcomes with practical clinical examples. The content
reviews published IMRT outcome studies and suggests possible future
directions for IMRT research.
