Material type: TextLanguage: English Publication details: Boca Raton : CRC Press, 2022 Edition: 2nd edDescription: xix, 645pISBN: 9781498721462Subject(s): Medical physics -- Handbooks, manuals, etc | Cancer -- Handbooks, manuals, etc. -- RadiotherapyDDC classification: 615.849(035) Online resources: Reviews Summary: From the essential background physics and radiobiology to the latest imaging and treatment modalities, the updated second edition of Handbook of Radiotherapy Physics: Theory & Practice covers all aspects of the subject. In Volume 1, Part A includes the Interaction of Radiation with Matter (charged particles and photons) and the Fundamentals of Dosimetry with an extensive section on small-field physics. Part B covers Radiobiology with increased emphasis on hypofractionation. Part C describes Equipment for Imaging and Therapy including MR-guided linear accelerators. Part D on Dose Measurement includes chapters on ionisation chambers, solid-state detectors, film and gels, as well as a detailed description and explanation of Codes of Practice for Reference Dose Determination including detector correction factors in small fields. Part E describes the properties of Clinical (external) Beams. The various methods (or ‘algorithms’) for Computing Doses in Patients irradiated by photon, electron and proton beams are described in Part F with increased emphasis on Monte-Carlo-based and grid-based deterministic algorithms.Item type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
