'A wealth of practical detail is included in the various chapters which are written by experienced medical physicists.'
'This is an excellent reference book for anyone involved in the practice of radiotherapy. The layout is extremely clear with good indexing and excellent referencing.' D.M. Tait, The British Journal of Radiology, 67, 1994
`the book gives a broad, but still detailed, introduction on the subject, covering topics from external beam therapy, through brachytherapy to unsealed source therapy ... It presents a useful and comprehensive source of information ... this book is useful for the physicist who is about to start a career in radiation treatment physics. It covers the whole area of different treatment techniques in a clear and practical way. The experienced physicist reading this book will find a lot of useful information.' N. Nystrom, Physics in Medicine and Biology, Vol. 40, Issue 12
