Infos

This two-volume set provides an introduction to radiotherapy physics. Volume one covers basic physics related to radiotherapy, including the principles of radiation dosimetry, while volume two discusses the planning of patient treatments using photon beams, radiation shielding and safety problems.

Inhalt

Volume 1: scope of clinical radiotherapy physics; atoms, molecules and matter; propagation of energy by electromagnetic waves; nuclear transitions and radioactive decay; radioactive deacy calculations; collision and radiation loss in charged-partical interactions; photon interactions; conventional x-ray machines; equipment for radioisotope teletherapy; particle accelerators; quantification of radiation field - radiation units and measurements; instruments for radiation detection; basic ratios and factors for the dosimetry of external beams; beam dosimetry - additional corrections, special situations. Volume 2: treatment dose distribution planning I - photon beams; physical aspects of electron beam therapy; physics of the use of small sealed sources in brachytherapy; radiation safety standards; radiation safety in external beam therapy; radiation safety in brachytherapy.
