  "Preface External-beam radiotherapy has long been vexed by the simple fact that patients can (and do) move during the delivery of radiation. The most elegant and forward-looking solution to this reality is to actively adapt the radiation delivery process to the patient's natural movements. Recent advances in imaging and beam delivery technologies have now made this solution a practical reality. The purpose of this book is to present to researchers and clinical practitioners in radiation therapy an overview of the current and prospective state of the art in motion-adaptive radiation therapy. It presents technical reviews of each of the contributing elements of a motion-adaptive system (including target detection and tracking, beam adaptation, and patient realignment), discusses treatment planning issues that arise when the patient and internal target are mobile, describes several integrated motion-adaptive systems that are in clinical use or at advanced stages of development, and concludes with a review of the system control functions that must be an essential part of any therapy device that operates in a near-autonomous manner with limited human interaction. From these chapters, the reader will hopefully gain not only an understanding of the technical aspects and capabilities of motion adaptation but also practical clinical insights into planning and carrying out various types of motion-adaptive radiotherapy treatment"--Provided by publisher.

  "Compared to x-ray-based radiotherapeutic modalities, proton therapy provides greater 3D localization, higher beam doses, access to deeper tumors, and less damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Though over fifty years old, it is now coming to the forefront of cancer treatment with greater understanding of the biophysics and better treatment and patient outcomes. This text presents an overview of proton therapy that addresses all key topics including, biophysics, accelerators, hardware, beam delivery, treatment planning, dose calculation, quality assurance, and precision. Features (1) Provides an overview of proton therapy; (2) Covers beam delivery using passive scattering and magnetic beam scanning; (3) Details the physics of treatment planning for homogenous fields and intensity-modulated fields; and (4) Discusses precision and uncertainties for both moving and non-moving targets"--Provided by publisher.

  "With the advent of computer technology and medical imaging, treatment planning in radiation oncology has evolved from a way of devising beam arrangements to a sophisticated process whereby imaging scanners are used to define target volume, simulators are used to outline treatment volume, and computers are used to select optimal beam arrangements for treatment. As such, this book is designed to provide a comprehensive discussion of the clinical, physical, and technical aspects of treatment planning. The intent of Treatment Planning in Radiation Oncology is to review these methodologies and present a contemporary version of the treatment planning process"--Provided by publisher.
