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.
The book introduces the fundamental aspects of digital imaging and
covers four main themes: Ultrasound techniques and imaging
applications, Magnetic resonance and MPJ in hospital, Digital
imaging with X-rays, Emission tomography (PET and SPECT). Each of
these topics is developed by analysing the underlying physics
principles and their implementation, quality and safety aspects,
clinical performance and recent advancements in the field. Some
issues specific to the individual techniques are also treated, e.g.
choice of radioisotopes or contrast agents, optimisation of data
acquisition and storage, readout electronics, modelling and
computer algorithms for imaging and measurement in ultrasounds and
tomography applications.
This book reports the majority of lectures given during the NATO
Advanced Study Institute ASI-982440, which was held at the European
Scienti?c Institute of Archamps (ESI, Archamps - France) from
November 9 to November 21, 2006. The ASI course was structured in
two parts, the ?rst was dedicated to individual imaging techniques
while the second is the object of this volume and focused on data
modelling and processing and on image archiving and distribution.
Courses devoted to nuclear medicine and digital imaging techniques
are collected in a c- plementary volume of NATO Science Series
entitled "Physics for Medical Imaging Applications" (ISBN
978-1-4020-5650-5). Every year in autumn ESI organises the European
School of Medical Physics, which covers a large spectrum of topics
ranging from Medical Imaging to Rad- therapy, over a period of ?ve
weeks. Thanks to the Cooperative Science and Te- nology
sub-programme of the NATO Science Division, weeks two and three
were replaced this year by the ASI course dedicated to "Molecular
Imaging from Physical Principles to Computer Reconstruction and
Practice". This allowed the participation
ofexpertsandstudentsfrom20differentcountries,withdiverseculturalbackground
and professional experience (Africa, America, Asia, and Europe). A
further positive outcome of NATO ASI participation is the
publication of this book, which contains the lectures series
contributed by speakers during the second week of the ASI.
This book introduces the fundamental aspects of Radiation
Protection in Medical Physics and covers three main themes: General
Radiation Protection Principles; Radiobiology Principles; Radiation
Protection in Hospital Medical Physics. Each of these topics is
developed by analysing the underlying physics principles and their
implementation, quality and safety aspects, clinical performance
and recent advances in the field. Some issues specific to the
individual techniques are also treated, e.g. calculation of patient
dose as well as that of workers in hospital, optimisation of
equipment used, shielding design of radiation facilities, radiation
in oncology such as use of brachytherapy in gynecology or
interventional procedures. All topics are presented with didactical
language and style, making this book an appropriate reference for
students and professionals seeking a comprehensive introduction to
the field as well as a reliable overview of the most recent
developments.
