Physics of Three-Dimensional Radiation Therapy Conformal Radiotherapy, Radiosurgery, and Treatment Planning

The Physics of Three Dimensional Radiation Therapy presents a broad study of the use of three-dimensional techniques in radiation therapy. These techniques are used to specify the target volume precisely and deliver radiation with precision to minimize damage to surrounding healthy tissue. The book discusses multimodality computed tomography, complex treatment planning software, advanced collimation techniques, proton radiotherapy, megavoltage imaging, and stereotactic radiosurgery. A review of the literature, numerous questions, and many illustrations make this book suitable for teaching a course.Webb, Steve is the author of 'Physics of Three-Dimensional Radiation Therapy Conformal Radiotherapy, Radiosurgery, and Treatment Planning' with ISBN 9780750302470 and ISBN 075030247X.
