Items related to The Physics of Conformal Radiotherapy: Advances in...
Synopsis
An overview of conformal therapy techniques which develops the 3-D techniques in radiation therapy. Since the subject area of conformal therapy continues to advance rapidly, this text includes information on 3D treatment planning, optimization, photon multileaf collimation and proton therapy. As well as introducing such areas as transit dosimetry, the work also details intensity-modulated therapy techniques and biological modelling. The physics underlying the techniques is clearly set out.

Review
"... excellent discussion on medical imaging and computerized treatment optimization ... good overview of developments in biological models and processes ... good perspective on the role of proton therapy and source of the facilities ... excellent background, guidelines and extensive critical evaluations on the practicality of every item covered ... an excellent update on advances in technology related to conformal radiotherapy. I would highly recommend it to medical physicists, radiation oncologists and manufacturers interested in the cutting-edge technological developments in the field of radiation oncology". -- Medical Physics 1997
"For any centre considering 3D CRT ... this book is a useful source of information". -- RAD Review
"authoritative ... describes the physics and methodology of conformal radiotherapy ... useful to both experienced and novice medical physicists and radiotherapists" -- ASLIB Book Guide
