Description:
This book provides detailed, state-of-the-art information and
guidelines on the latest developments, innovations, and clinical
procedures in image-guided and adaptive radiation therapy. The first
section discusses key methodological and technological issues in
image-guided and adaptive radiation therapy, including use of implanted
fiducial markers, management of respiratory motion, image-guided
stereotactic radiosurgery and stereotactic body radiation therapy,
three-dimensional conformal brachytherapy, target definition and
localization, and PET/CT and biologically conformal radiation therapy.
The second section provides practical clinical information on
image-guided adaptive radiation therapy for cancers at all common
anatomic sites and for pediatric cancers. The third section offers
practical guidelines for establishing an effective image-guided
adaptive radiation therapy program.
