This book reports the majority of lectures given during the NATO
Advanced Study Institute ASI-982996, which was held at the European
Scientific Institute of Archamps (ESI, Archamps - France) from
November 15 to November 27, 2007. The ASI course was structured in
two parts: the first was dedicated to what is often called
"teletherapy", i. e. radiotherapy with external beams, while the
second focused on internal radiotherapy, also called
"brachytherapy" or "curietherapy" in honour of Madame Curie who
initiated the technique about a century ago. This ASI took place
after the European School of Medical Physics, which devoted a 3
week period to medical imaging, a subject complementary to the
topics of this book. Courses devoted to nuclear medicine and
digital imaging techniques are collected in two volumes of the NATO
Science Series entitled "Physics for Medical Imaging Applications"
(ISBN 978-1-4020-5650-5) and "Molecular imaging: computer
reconstruction and practice" (ISBN 978-1-4020- 8751-6). Every year
in autumn ESI organises the European School of Medical Physics,
which covers a large spectrum of topics ranging from Medical
Imaging to Radiotherapy, over a period of 5 weeks. Thanks to the
Cooperative Science and Technology sub-programme of the NATO
Science Division, weeks four and five were replaced this year by
the ASI course dedicated to "Physics of Modern Radiotherapy &
Brachytherapy". This allowed the participation of experts and
students from 20 different countries, with diverse cultural
background and p- fessional experience.
