Description:
This book, now in its fourth edition, is
unique in detailing in depth the technological basis of radiation therapy.
Compared with the previous edition, all chapters have been rewritten
and updated. In addition, new chapters have been included on various
topics, including the use of imaging in treatment planning, second
malignant neoplasms due to irradiation, and quality assurance in
radiation oncology. The book is divided into two sections. The first
covers basic concepts in treatment planning, including essential physics,
and explains the various approaches to radiation therapy, such as
intensity-modulated radiation therapy, tomotherapy, and high and low
dose rate brachytherapy. The second part documents the practical
clinical applications of these concepts in the treatment of different
cancers. All of the chapters have been written by leaders in this field.
This book will provide an invaluable guide to the basic technological
factors and approaches in radiation therapy.
Written for:
Practitioners/professionals, clinicians, lecturers/tutors and scientists/
researchers in the fields radiation oncology, medical physics, and
oncology
