Description
Handbook of Radiotherapy Physics: Theory and Practice — Second Edition (Two-Volume Set)
This handbook brings together the physical principles, measurement methods and technical foundations underlying radiation treatment. The second edition is designed as a broad reference to radiotherapy physics and its safe clinical implementation.
Clinical and Scientific Coverage
- Production and interaction of therapeutic radiation.
- Radiation quantities, measurement systems and detector principles.
- Dosimetry, calibration, commissioning and quality assurance.
- External beam radiotherapy and treatment planning methods.
- Brachytherapy and specialized radiotherapy techniques.
- Image guidance, geometric accuracy and motion management.
- Risk assessment, radiation protection and technical safety.
- Developments in computational modeling and verification.
How to Use This Reference
By linking mathematical principles with practical physics tasks, the handbook provides a framework for study and reference. Application in a clinic requires locally validated equipment models, qualified physicists and current standards.
Intended Readers
Medical physicists, dosimetrists, radiation oncology researchers, residents and advanced students of medical physics.
