Description
Selected as a 2023 Doodys Core Title!

Khans Lectures:: Handbook of the Physics of Radiation Therapy will provide a digest of the material contained in The Physics of Radiation Therapy . Lectures will be presented somewhat similar to a PowerPoint format, discussing key points of individual chapters. Selected diagrams from the textbook will be used to initiate the discussion. New illustrations will used, wherever needed, to enhance the understanding of important concepts. Discussion will be condensed and often bulleted. Theoretical details will be referred to the textbook and the cited literature. A problem set (practice questions) will be provided at the end of each chapter topic.
