Defining organs at risk is a crucial task for radiation oncologists
when aiming to optimize the benefit of radiation therapy, with
delivery of the maximum dose to the tumor volume while sparing
healthy tissues. This book will prove an invaluable guide to the
delineation of organs at risk of toxicity in patients undergoing
radiotherapy. The first and second sections address the anatomy of
organs at risk, discuss the pathophysiology of radiation-induced
damage, and present dose constraints and methods for target volume
delineation. The third section is devoted to the radiological
anatomy of organs at risk as seen on typical radiotherapy planning
CT scans, with a view to assisting the radiation oncologist to
recognize and delineate these organs for each anatomical region –
head and neck, mediastinum, abdomen, and pelvis. The book is
intended both for young radiation oncologists still in training and
for their senior colleagues wishing to reduce intra-institutional
variations in practice and thereby to standardize the definition of
clinical target volumes. ​
