Modern Technology of Radiation Oncology, Volume 2: A Compendium for Medical Physicists and R... Book

For practitioners and those studying radiation oncology, Van Dyk (oncology, medical biophysics, diagnostic imaging, and nuclear medicine, U. of Western Ontario) presents an addendum to the first volume (rather than a revised edition) to incorporate advances in the field. US and Canadian-based contributors collaborate on 10 essays covering imaging, external beam radiation therapy, inverse treatment planning, radiobiological modeling, intensity-modulated therapy, breathing control, calibration, and prostate brachytherapy. Included are the table of contents and index to volume one and a list of acronyms. Watch for an errata sheet enclosed with the first printing. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
