The Physics of Modern Brachytherapy for Oncology (Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy has become the modality of choice for brachytherapy treatment as it minimises the possibility of unacceptable high dose rates to healthy tissue in contact with the implant and provides a more cost effective and convenient treatment for patients in most cases. Written by leading experts in the development and implementation of HDR brachytherapy this book covers the subject in detail, including its definition, sources, treatment planning, dose specification, documentation and quality assurance. It also deals briefly with earlier modalities and details cancer sites which can be treated using the differing brachytherapy modalities. The text is suitable for graduate courses in medical physics and dosimetry and will be essential reading for practising radiation oncologists and medical physicists wishing to keep abreast of the developments in this fast moving field
