Review of Radiation Oncology Physics: A Handbook for Teachers and Students. Objective: To familiarize the student with a variety of modern photon beam radiotherapy techniques to achieve a uniform dose distribution inside the target volume and a dose as low as possible in the healthy tissues surrounding the target. International Atomic Energy Agency
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.
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).
External Beam Therapy, Second Edition is an essential, practical guide to the use of external beam radiotherapy, highlighting the rapid technological advances made in recent years.
It will provide a firm background in the physics of external beam radiotherapy and then deals with each anatomical site in turn with details of the indications and techniques used for radiotherapy delivery.
Computerized Treatment Planning Systems (TPS) are used in external beam radiation therapy to generate beam shapes and dose distributions with the intent to maximize tumor control and minimize normal tissue complications.
