About this title

Synopsis

A comprehensive textbook of radiotherapy and related radiation physics and oncology for use by all those concerned with the uses of radiation and cytotoxic drugs in the treatment of patients with malignant disease. Best known as 'Walter and Miller', over the years this book has become the core text for therapeutic radiography students and an important introductory text for trainee radiologists and clinical physicists. It is divided into 2 parts: the first covers underlying principles of physics ad the second (and longer) part deals with radiotherapy and oncology. The book underwent a major overhaul and expansion (of part 2) in the previous edition, which firmly established it as the outstanding work of its kind in this field.

Combines in one text physics and oncology/radiotherapy - a better buy for students

Numerous line drawings, photographs, x-rays and a colour plate section - easy to read and navigate through

Fully updated and revised - making sure that the reader is briefed in contemporary developments in the field

No other text as comprehensive as this one - a unique and 'must-have' purchase for all radiotherapists!

The New Edition reflects the major changes in the practice over the last ten years

The 'Radiobiology' Chapter has been totally rewritten

Part 1 has been reorganised, now 15 chapters in an easier-to-read sequence

New line drawings included.
