Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy

Combining state-of-the-art literature together with the author's personal research experience, this book describes in detail the physics germane to the development of a particular form of clinical conformal radiotherapy called intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). IMRT has become a topic of tremendous importance within the last several years and is now being seriously investigated for its potential to improve the outcome of radiation therapy. According to E-Streams, "It would be a very useful book for graduate students and researchers in many disciplines including medical physics, biomedical engineering, radiology, radiotherapy, and clinical research. ..."
