Contents:
The concepts and consequences of set-up errors -- The foundations of equipment used for radiotherapy verification -- Concepts of on-treatment verification -- Clinical protocols and imaging training -- Concomitant exposures and legal framework -- Foundational principles of protocols, tolerances, action levels and -- Corrective strategies -- Imaging science, imaging equipment (pre-treatment and on-treatment) -- Clinical practice principles -- Quality systems and quality assurance -- Alternative technologies -- Incident reporting -- Protocol development and training -- Commissioning of new on-treatment imaging equipment and techniques; integration into the oncology management system.
Summary: "On-treatment verification imaging has developed rapidly in recent years and is now at the heart of image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) and all aspects of radiotherapy planning and treatment delivery. This is the first book dedicated to just this important topic, which is written in an accessible manner for undergraduate and graduate therapeutic radiography (radiation therapist) students and trainee medical physicists and clinicians. The later sections of the book will also help established medical physicists, therapeutic radiographers, and radiation therapists familiarise themselves with developing and cutting-edge techniques in IGRT"-- Provided by publisher.
