Advances in Accelerators and Medical Physics (Paperback)

Advances in Accelerators and Medical Physics provides in-depth, comprehensive coverage of basic concepts in X-ray therapy, electron beam therapy, particle therapy, BNCT, RI diagnosis and therapy. Each section of the book presents the current state of the field, details about safety and education, and future trends in advanced research. This book will serve as a key resource for researchers and students to find all information on cancer radiotherapy techniques and methods. Heavy ion radiotherapy used for cancer treatment involves the acceleration of carbon ions to 70% of the speed of light to deliver radiation to cancer cells and cause cell death. This therapy is also expected to be effective in cancers that are difficult to treat or do not respond to conventional treatments. Furthermore, this therapy is associated with several advantages such as shorter treatment duration and fewer side effects.
