Clinical Radiotherapy Physics with MATLAB
Crc Press Inc (Verlag)
978-1-4987-5499-6 (ISBN)
Chapters explore key radiotherapy areas such as handling volumes, 3D dose calculation, comparing dose distributions, reconstructing treatment plans and their summations, and automated tests for machine quality assurance. Readers will learn to independently analyse and process images, doses, structures, and other radiotherapy clinical data to deal with standard and non-standard situations in radiotherapy. This book will also significantly improve understanding of areas such as data nature, information content, DICOM RT standard, and data flow. It will be an invaluable reference for students of medical physics, in addition to clinical radiotherapy physicists and researchers working in radiotherapy.
Features:
Includes real clinical medical physics applications derived from actual clinical problems
Provides commented MATLAB® scripts working with sample data and/or own data matching input requirements
Promotes critical thinking and practical problem solving skills
Pavel Dvorak is a medical physicist with several years’ experience in managerial clinical positions. Within medical physics, he has worked in education, research, and clinical practice in public and private health institutions in the Czech Republic, Austria, and the United Kingdom. His speciality is implementing novel techniques and technologies, creating and managing efficient workflows, and problem solving in radiotherapy.
