More DescriptionCareful consideration of the complex variables involved in radiotherapy as well as critical assessment of the techniques available are fundamental to good and effective practice. Taking into account advances in imaging and treatment delivery, this book reflects the radical change in the practice of radiotherapy in recent years. It emphasizes the underlying principles of treatment that can be applied for conventional, conformal, and novel treatments. This edition includes a chapter on patient management along with discussion of CT stimulators, MLC shieldings and dose profiles, principles of IMRT, and use of MRI, PET and ultrasound.
