Provides an overview of the state-of-the-art image-guidance techniques employed in radiation therapy. This book will be beneficial to medical physicists at different stages in their careers who would like to know about current image guidance techniques and modalities, including non-ionizing-radiation ones.

Learn what's new in treatment planning, technology, and techniques in brachytherapy from the world's leading researchers and clinicians with the latest book on brachytherapy in modern clinics. This new volume includes chapters on HDR and LDR brachytherapy for the prostate; general planning and model-based dose calculation algorithms; intensity-modulated brachytherapy; and more.

Radiotherapy physics has had a very long history of performing quality assurance. The goal of this book is to make new techniques accessible to the broader medical physics community. The CD included in this book contains large tables, figures, and many of the text's images in colour.

Proton therapy has been used in radiation therapy for over 70 years, but within the last decade its use in clinics has grown exponentially. This book fills in the proton therapy gap by focusing on the physics of proton therapy, including beam production, proton interactions, biology, dosimetry, treatment planning, quality assurance, commissioning, motion management, and uncertainties.
