Imaging is a critical component in the delivery of radiotherapy to
patients with malignancy, and this book teaches the principles and
practice of imaging specific to radiotherapy. Introductory chapters
outline the basic principles of the available imaging modalities
including x-rays, CT, ultrasound, MRI, nuclear medicine, and PET.
Site specific chapters then cover the main tumour sites, reviewing
optimal imaging techniques for diagnosis, staging, radiotherapy
planning, and follow-up for each site. The important areas of
radiation protection, exposure justification, and risks are also
covered, exploring issues such as balancing radiation exposure with
long-term risks of radiation effects, such as second cancer
induction. This second edition has been fully revised and updated
to reflect current techniques, and includes two brand new chapters
on imaging for radiotherapy treatment verification, and the role of
specialist MRI techniques and functional imaging for radiotherapy
planning. With insights from experts in each field and over 200
illustrations, this comprehensive and easy-to-read guide will be an
invaluable resource for radiation oncologists, clinical
oncologists, and radiotherapists, both qualified and in training.
ABOUT THE SERIES Radiotherapy remains the major non-surgical
treatment modality for the management of malignant disease. It is
based on the application of the principles of applied physics,
radiobiology, and tumour biology to clinical practice. Each volume
in the series takes the reader through the basic principles of the
use of ionizing radiation and then develops this by individual
sites. This series of practical handbooks is aimed at physicians
both training and practising in radiotherapy, as well as medical
physics, dosimetrists, radiographers, and senior nurses.
