Synopsis
Clinicians and scientists provide an account of methods and experiences of intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). For medical scientists, there are detailed discussions on the inverse method, the commissioning and acceptance testing of DMLC, and dose calculations. Material of interest to radiation oncologists and clinical physicists covers specific procedures, and clinical outcome data. Other topics include biological imaging and estimation of tumor control.

From the Publisher
This book contains a comprehensive and cohesive body of material on both the physical and medical aspects of IMRT, based on first-hand experience of the staff at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. There are detailed discussions on the inverse method, the commissioning and acceptance-testing of dynamic multileaf collimation, dose calculation and independent monitor unit check. In addition, advanced topics relevant to IMRT are addressed, such as estimation of tumor control and normal tissue complication probabilities, quantification and minimization of treatment uncertainties, the use of respiration-controlled techniques, and the emerging importance of biological imaging.
