The Physics of Conformal Radiotherapy: Advances in Technology - Couverture rigide
Livre 42 sur 80: Series in Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering
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.
