Presents an overview of conformal radiotherapy and biological modeling, focusing on the underlying physics and methodology of 3-dimensional techniques in radiation therapy. This work evaluates 3-dimensional treatment planning, optimization, photon multileaf collimation, proton therapy, transit dosimetry, and intensity-modulation techniques.
The Physics of Conformal Radiotherapy: Advances in Technology provides a thorough overview of conformal radiotherapy and biological modeling, focusing on the underlying physics and methodology of three-dimensional techniques in radiation therapy. This carefully written, authoritative account evaluates three-dimensional treatment planning, optimization, photon multileaf collimation, proton therapy, transit dosimetry, intensity-modulation techniques, and biological modeling. It is an invaluable teaching guide and reference for all medical physicists and radiation oncologists/therapists that use conformal radiotherapy.
