Extensively revised and updated, this accessible book examines all the essential aspects of radiotherapy, from the physics and mathematics of radiation beams, to in-depth descriptions of the equipment used by radiotherapy practitioners, to new and expanded coverage of MR-linac and Halcyon technology, proton therapy, stereotactic body radiotherapy, sealed-source verification and quality assurance for MV equipment.
* Covers all the core information essential to radiotherapy practice
* Describes the major aspects of therapeutic radiography in a practical context
* Includes images, diagrams, supplemental reading suggestions and more radiotherapy-specific examples
* Features expanded coverage of legislation, advanced treatment delivery, flattening filter free treatment and more
Practical Radiotherapy is a valuable resource for radiotherapy and medical physics students, radiotherapists, therapeutic radiographers, radiation therapists, clinical oncologists and oncology nurses.
