Title: Treatment planning in radiation oncology
Description: Completely updated for this edition, the text is a comprehensive guide to state-of-the-art treatment planning techniques in radiation oncology. It provides the treatment planning team--radiation oncologists, medical physicists, and medical dosimetrists--with detailed information on both the physics of radiation treatment planning and the clinical aspects of radiotherapy for specific cancers. Ilustrations provide practical examples of the methodologies. Brand-new chapters in this edition cover image-guided radiation therapy, high dose rate brachytherapy, and brachytherapy treatment planning algorithms. Chapters have been completely updated, particularly in areas including intensity-modulated radiation therapy and brachytherapy.
