External Beam Therapy, Second Edition is an essential, practical resource to guide the use of external beam radiotherapy, highlighting the rapid technological advances made in recent years.
In the present document “external beam radiotherapy” will encompass the various forms of delivery (2D, 3D, IMRT, stereotactic RT) and types of beams (photons, electrons and various particles). The aim of this curriculum is to describe the minimum competences necessary to deliver ionising radiation
External photon beam radiotherapy is usually carried out with multiple radiation beams in order to achieve a uniform dose distribution. inside the target volume and a dose as low as possible in healthy tissues surrounding the target. Criteria of a uniform dose distribution within the target.
External beam radiation therapy is a type of radiation therapy. With external beam radiation therapy, a treatment machine aims beams of radiation at the tumor. The beams pass through your body and damage cancer cells in their path. You will not see or feel the radiation.

Intensity-modulated radiation therapy. Introduction. IMRT is a technique which uses beams that, unlike the flat or wedged beams of conventional RT, have changing dose intensity across them, as shown in Figure 6.1 (Webb, 2003; Bortfeld, 2006).
A comprehensive guide to radiotherapy planning and delivery. Initial chapters give detailed insight into the fundamentals of clinical radiotherapy including the physics of photon and electron beams, protons and stereotactic body radiotherapy.
