From the essential background physics and radiobiology to the
latest imaging and treatment modalities, the updated second edition
of Handbook of Radiotherapy Physics: Theory & Practice covers
all aspects of the subject. In Volume 1, Part A includes the
Interaction of Radiation with Matter (charged particles and
photons) and the Fundamentals of Dosimetry with an extensive
section on small-field physics. Part B covers Radiobiology with
increased emphasis on hypofractionation. Part C describes Equipment
for Imaging and Therapy including MR-guided linear accelerators.
Part D on Dose Measurement includes chapters on ionisation
chambers, solid-state detectors, film and gels, as well as a
detailed description and explanation of Codes of Practice for
Reference Dose Determination including detector correction factors
in small fields. Part E describes the properties of Clinical
(external) Beams. The various methods (or 'algorithms') for
Computing Doses in Patients irradiated by photon, electron and
proton beams are described in Part F with increased emphasis on
Monte-Carlo-based and grid-based deterministic algorithms. In
Volume 2, Part G covers all aspects of Treatment Planning including
CT-, MR- and Radionuclide-based patient imaging,
Intensity-Modulated Photon Beams, Electron and Proton Beams,
Stereotactic and Total Body Irradiation and the use of the
dosimetric and radiobiological metrics TCP and NTCP for plan
evaluation and optimisation. Quality Assurance fundamentals with
application to equipment and processes are covered in Part H.
Radionuclides, equipment and methods for Brachytherapy and Targeted
Molecular Therapy are covered in Parts I and J, respectively.
Finally, Part K is devoted to Radiation Protection of the public,
staff and patients. Extensive tables of Physical Constants, Photon,
Electron and Proton Interaction data, and typical Photon Beam and
Radionuclide data are given in Part L. Edited by recognised
authorities in the field, with individual chapters written by
renowned specialists, this second edition of Handbook of
Radiotherapy Physics provides the essential up-to-date theoretical
and practical knowledge to deliver safe and effective radiotherapy.
It will be of interest to clinical and research medical physicists,
radiation oncologists, radiation technologists, PhD and Master's
students.
