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.
