Produktbeschreibung

This is the first book of its kind that covers 3D/4D ultrasound imaging in external beam radiotherapy in detail. Its intent is to provide a comprehensive reference for researchers, students, hospital physicists and radiographers by describing the current clinical situation and detailing the full potential of ultrasound in radiotherapy. The text is supported with interactive and animated figures, and interactive quizzes are provided to consolidate key learning points.

This book includes an overview of the technology used for ultrasound guided radiotherapy, the clinical need and the advantages of using ultrasound imaging. It can also be considered a practical guide for the implementation of ultrasound guidance in radiotherapy that identifies barriers to clinical implementation and discusses potential solutions. A comprehensive review of the state-of-the art is provided, incorporating critical evaluation of the field with future directions and identification of exciting opportunities for research, which include the use of robotics, artificial intelligence, and ionacoustics.
