This well-received book, now in its fifth edition, is unique in providing a detailed examination of the technological basis of radiation therapy. Another unique feature is that the chapters are jointly written by North American and European authors. This considerably broadens the book's contents and increases its applicability in daily practice throughout the world. The book is divided into two sections. The first section covers basic concepts in treatment planning and explains the various approaches to radiation therapy, such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy, tomotherapy, stereotactic radiotherapy, and high and low dose rate brachytherapy. The second discusses in depth the practical clinical applications of the different radiation therapy techniques in a wide range of cancer sites. All chapters have been written by leaders in the field. This book will serve to instruct and acquaint teachers, students, and practitioners with the basic technological factors and approaches in radiation therapy.

Rezensionen
Aus den Rezensionen zur 5. Auflage:

"... Das Ziel einer möglichst kompletten Übersicht moderner radioonkologischer Behandlungstechniken ist außerordentlich geglückt. Die ausgewiesenen Experten auf den jeweiligen Teilgebieten führen den lehrenden, den Studierenden und alle interessierten Anwender in besonders gelungener Weise in die Welt dieser Techniken, Faktoren und Ansatze ein." -- in: Der Radiologe, July/2012,Vol. 52, Issue 7, S. 635
From the reviews of the fifth edition:

"This book Provides a unique approach to covering the physics of radiation oncology. ... I would highly recommend this book for radiation oncology trainees who are seeking to understand the physics background to clinical radiation oncology treatments and for physics trainees who are seeking to understand how basic physics applies to clinical application. I would also recommend this book for any radiation oncology professional looking to update their knowledge on either a particular radiotherapy technique or clinical treatment site." (Lois Holloway, Australasian Physical & Engineering Sciences in Medicine, Vol. 36, 2013)
