Sample Chapter: Image Segmentation & 3D Planning Contributors

Description:

This new book "3-D Conformal and Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy: Physics & Clinical Applications" in radiation therapy provides a comprehensive overview on the physics & clinical applications of 3- D CRT and IMRT. It covers full range of detailed topics and cutting edge information on recent clinical application of 3-D CRT and IMRT treatment planning. This book presents the physics and clinical information you need to implement and practice 3-D conformal and intensity modulated radiation therapy techniques and their applications in your radiation oncology center. It includes step-by-step descriptions of methods necessary for practicing full 3-D CRT and IMRT using precise imaging techniques for tumor localization, targeting, and treatment planning. This book on 3-D CRT and IMRT describes clinical and biological plan evaluation and various imaging methods in the technical implementation and the clinical aspects of 3-D CRT and IMRT treatment planning.

It consists of topics coverin g:


Physics:
 

IMRT treatment planning  3-D RTP plan evaluation  Biological indices in plan evaluation , TCP & NTCP calculation . Image segmentation and volume display for 3-D RTTP  CT-Simulation and 3-D planning process , Image fusion for 3- D CRT .
