Description
Planning is a critical stage of radiotherapy. Careful consideration of the complex variables involved and critical assessment of the techniques available are fundamental to good and effective practice.
First published in 1985, Practical Radiotherapy Planning has, over three editions, established itself as the popular choice for the trainee raditation oncologist and radiographer, providing the nuts and bolts of planning in a practical and accessible manner.
This fourth edition encompasses a wealth of new material, reflecting the radical change in the practice of radiotherapy in recent years. The information contained within the introductory chapters has been expanded and brought up to date, and a new chapter on patient management has been added. CT stimulators, MLC shieldings and dose profiles, principles of IMRT, and use of MRI, PET and ultrasound are all included, amongst other new developments in this field.
The aim of the book remains unchanged. Complexity of treatment planning has increased greatly, but the fourth edition continues to emphasise underlying principles of treatment that can be applied for conventional, conformal and novel treatments, taking into account advances in imaging and treatment delivery.
- A complete conceptual revision of this unique book, rather than a minor update
- Improved and updated photography to take account for developments in imaging techniques
- Many new line diagrams, including more emphasis on 3D imaging, with improved labelling to help less experienced readers
- Introduction of key clinical trials that have changed practice - important for the FRCR Part 2 examination
- Provides best practice for long-standing procedures, and gives guidelines for basic, safe practice for newer, less established concepts.
