Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This leading reference source devoted to radiation therapy physics is now in its Third Edition. Pertinent to the entire radiation oncology team, it is clinically oriented and presents practical aspects as well as underlying theory to clarify basic concepts. The format begins with underlying physics, then progresses to treatment planning, and ends with radiation. Contains an expanded focus with seven new chapters on special procedures. Remaining chapters have been revised to detail any new developments in the field over the past eight years. Illustrations are overhauled to reflect current practice and to detail the new procedures added. Provides a solid foundation for residents and a strong review for practitioners. Book News Annotation:Khan (therapeutic radiology, emeritus, U. of Minnesota Medical
School) covers basic physics, classical radiation therapy, and modern
radiation therapy. For this edition all sections have been
extensively updated, and new material has been added on topics such
as 3-D conformal radiation therapy, IMRT, stereotactic radiation
therapy, high dose rate brachytherapy, seed implants, and
intravascular brachytherapy. A section of color plates is included.
Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Review:The Radiographer, Dr. Raymond Budd — "There should be few, if any, radiation therapy physicists or technologists who are not familiar with Faiz Khan's text The Physics of Radiation Therapy. Since its first edition in 1984 it has established itself as a leading reference text for all involved in the use of ionising radiation for cancer treatment. All of the chapters in this new edition are extensively referenced and many of them have worked examples in support of the presented materials. The book is clinically oriented and presents practical aspects as well as underlying theory to clarify basic concepts. Many of the illustrations have been revised to reflect current practice and they greatly benefit from the enlarged format. This excellent book will continue to be a valuable resource to the entire radiation oncology team. There is little more to be said, other than it should be mandatory reading for all those involved in radiation therapy practice."Dr. Raymond Budd, The Radiographer What Our Readers Are SayingBe the first to add a comment for a chance to win!Product Details
