Bøger i The Modern Technology of Radiation Oncology serien

The evidence is growing that the improvements in imaging, along with increasingly conformal radiation treatments, are providing significant benefits for patient outcome, both in terms of tumour control and reduced normal tissue complications. The goal of this book is to provide state-of-the-art, updated information on making these technologies available in the clinic.

With more than 80 full-colour images, this second volume of The Modern Technology of Radiation Oncology deals with the most significant incremental advances in radiation oncology that have occurred since the publication of Volume 1 in 1999. As with the first volume, Volume 2 focuses on the design of the new technologies and how to put them into clinical practice.

Describes the technological details associated with radiation oncology. Unlike standard medical physics textbooks which generally do not address design details or the details of acceptance, commissioning, and quality assurance, this book emphasizes the design of all the equipment or tools that are associated with radiation treatment.
