This guide - a companion to the Radiation Oncology Self-Assessment
Guide - is a comprehensive physics review for anyone in the field
of radiation oncology looking to enhance their knowledge of medical
physics. It covers in depth the principles of radiation physics as
applied to radiation therapy along with their technical and
clinical applications. To foster retention of key concepts and
data, the resource utilizes a user-friendly "flash card" question
and answer format with over 800 questions. The questions are
supported by detailed answers and rationales along with reference
citations for source information. It is comprised of 14 chapters
that lead the reader through the radiation oncology physics field,
from basic physics to current practice and latest innovations.
Aspects of basic physics covered include fundamentals, photon and
particle interactions, and dose measurement. A section on current
practice covers treatment planning, safety, regulations, quality
assurance, and SBRT, SRS, TBI, IMRT, and IGRT techniques. A chapter
unique to this volume is dedicated to those topics in diagnostic
imaging most relevant to radiology, including MRI, ultrasound,
fluoroscopy, mammography, PET, SPECT, and CT. New technologies such
as VMAT, novel IGRT devices, proton therapy, and MRI-guided therapy
are also incorporated. Focused and authoritative, this must-have
review combines the expertise of clinical radiation oncology and
radiation physics faculty from the Cleveland Clinic Taussig Cancer
Institute. Key Features: A one-stop guide for those studying the
physics of radiation oncology including those wishing to reinforce
their current knowledge of medical physics. Includes more than 800
questions with detailed answers and rationales. Delivered in a
"flash card" format to facilitate recall of key concepts and data.
Presents a unique chapter on diagnostic imaging topics most
relevant to radiation oncology. Content provided by a vast array of
contributors, including physicists, radiation oncology residents,
dosimetrists, and physicians.
