Image-Guided Radiation Therapy presents key image-guided radiation
treatment (IGRT) technologies for external beam radiotherapy. The
book explores the decades-long technological developments that have
occurred in the realm of image-guided conformal, customized
radiation treatment. Expert authors, all of whom have actively
participated in the development or implementation of IGRT, imaging,
and enabling technologies, share their first-hand experiences on
the science, clinical uses, and impact of these technologies. They
describe kilovoltage and megavoltage imaging as well as
radiological, ultrasound, and optical technologies for determining
and validating target and patient positioning. The book examines
how anatomical and biological imaging using CT and PET has
contributed to the understanding of target volume boundaries and
biological behavior. It also explores such innovations as 4D PET/CT
and digital tomosynthesis. Advancing patient care, this book
focuses on a wealth of hybrid IGRT technologies and devices for
coupled imaging and treatment inside the radiation treatment room.
It thoroughly covers the modalities, software tools, and imaging
treatment geometries that constitute IGRT.
