With more than 80 full-colour images, this second volume of The Modern Technology of Radiation Oncology deals with the most significant incremental advances in radiation oncology that have occurred since the publication of Volume 1 in 1999. As with the first volume, Volume 2 focuses on the design of the new technologies and how to put them into clinical practice. Medical physicists, radiation oncologists, and everyone who has a close association with the technology of radiation oncology will find this book useful - especially those who are planning implementation of new technologies and those who are preparing for certification.
