For residents and clinical physicists, this book focuses on the practice of radiation physics in the clinic. It provides both basic radiation physics and physical aspects of treatment planning, using photon beams, electron beams, and brachytherapy sources. Information is also provided on dosimetry.
This book is written primarily with the needs of residents and clinical physicists in mind. Therefore, greater emphasis is given to the practice of physics in the clinic. For the residents, the book provides both basic radiation physics and physical aspects of treatment planning, using photon beams, electron beams, and brachytherapy sources. For the clinical physicist, additionally, current information is provided on dosimetry. Except for some sections in the book dealing with the theory of absorbed dose measurements, the book should also appeal to the radiotherapy technologists. Of particular interest to them are the sections of treatment techniques, patient setups and dosimetric calculations.
