Image-Guided Radiation Therapy presents key image-guided radiation treatment (IGRT) technologies for external beam radiotherapy. The book explores the decades-long technological developments that have occurred in the realm of image-guided conformal, customized radiation treatment. Expert authors, all of whom have actively participated in the development or implementation of IGRT, imaging, and enabling technologies, share their first-hand experiences on the science, clinical uses, and impact of these technologies. They describe kilovoltage and megavoltage imaging as well as radiological, ultrasound, and optical technologies for determining and validating target and patient positioning. The book examines how anatomical and biological imaging using CT and PET has contributed to the understanding of target volume boundaries and biological behavior. It also explores such innovations as 4D PET/CT and digital tomosynthesis. Advancing patient care, this book focuses on a wealth of hybrid IGRT technologies and devices for coupled imaging and treatment inside the radiation treatment room. It thoroughly covers the modalities, software tools, and imaging treatment geometries that constitute IGRT.

This book is based on Steve Murray s successful Cancer Guided Imagery DVDs which are in hospitals and support groups throughout the country. Here are just few examples: Video on demand in patients rooms at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Patients libraries at the Mayo Cancer Clinic, St. Mary s Hospital, and Gilda s Club. The book also helps you prepare mentally, emotionally, and physically for cancer treatment and recovery, helps you reduce and relieve side effects, and helps lessen fear and stress of cancer treatment. This book has programs for Cancer Surgery, Radiation Treatment, Chemotherapy, Destroying and Dissolving Cancer Cells, and Recovery. The programs should only be used in conjunction with medical treatment, not in place of it.Any questions about the book or DVDs, contact Steve Murray through his website, cancerimagery com

This volume, which expands and updates the first edition, is designed as a practical text to aid the radiation oncologist in the evaluation and treatment of benign diseases. An introductory chapter by an eminent malpractice lawyer clarifies the medical-legal implications of the radiation treatment of such diseases. Thereafter the various benign conditions are considered in alphabetical order; in each case a brief résumé is followed by citations of pertinent literature in both explanatory tables and reference lists. A special feature is the survey of current radiation practice in the United States. This complete update will be recognized as the standard text on radiation therapy for benign diseases.

This practical handbook helps radiation oncologists to appropriately and confidently select and delineate tumor volumes/fields for conformal radiation therapy, including intensity-modulated radiation therapy, in patients with commonly encountered cancers.

The publication of this fourth edition, more than ten years on from the publication of Radiation Therapy Physics third edition, provides a comprehensive and valuable update to the educational offerings in this field. Led by a new team of highly esteemed authors, building on Dr Hendee’s tradition, Hendee’s Radiation Therapy Physics offers a succinctly written, fully modernised update. Radiation physics has undergone many changes in the past ten years: intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has become a routine method of radiation treatment delivery, digital imaging has replaced film-screen imaging for localization and verification, image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) is frequently used, in many centers proton therapy has become a viable mode of radiation therapy, new approaches have been introduced to radiation therapy quality assurance and safety that focus more on process analysis rather than specific performance testing, and the explosion in patient-and machine-related data has necessitated an increased awareness of the role of informatics in radiation therapy. As such, this edition reflects the huge advances made over the last ten years. This book: Provides state of the art content throughout Contains four brand new chapters; image-guided therapy, proton radiation therapy, radiation therapy informatics, and quality and safety improvement Fully revised and expanded imaging chapter discusses the increased role of digital imaging and computed tomography (CT) simulation The chapter on quality and safety contains content in support of new residency training requirements Includes problem and answer sets for self-test This edition is essential reading for radiation oncologists in training, students of medical physics, medical dosimetry, and anyone interested in radiation therapy physics, quality, and safety.

Die Strahlentherapie gutartiger Erkrankungen ist zu Unrecht einesteils in Vergessen- heit geraten, andererseits fiirchtet man vor allem unerwiinschte oder gar gefahrliche Bestrahlungsfolgen. Die moglichen Gefahrdungen sind heute, dank Untersuchungen in den heiden letzten Jahrzehnten, gut bekannt. Bei richtiger Indikationsstellung und adaquater Technik sind die Gefahren bei Bestrahlung gutartiger Erkrankungen von gleicher GroBenordnung, wenn nicht kleiner, als diejenigen anderer medizinischer MaB- nahmen. In zahlreichen Fallen ist die Strahlentherapie die wirksamste, gelegentlich sogar die lebensrettende Behandlung. Auch kann sie angewandt werden, wenn andere Verfahren nicht zum gewiinschten Erfolg gefiihrt haben. Anzeigestellung, Methodik, Erfolgs- aussichten, mogliche Gefahrdung und ihre Vermeidung werden bei verschiedenen Er- krankungen beschrieben. Die Darstellung des derzeitigen Standes des Wissens auf dem Gebiet der Strahlentherapie gutartiger Erkrankungen gibt dem Fachmann ein wertvolles Hilfsmittel in die Hand und wird diese Behandlungsform zu der ihr gebiihrenden An- wendung fiihren. Bern, Aprill970 A. ZUPPINGER Preface In non-malignant diseases radiotherapy has on the one hand fallen into undeserved neglect and on the other aroused fears of undesirable and even dangerous sequelae. Today, as a result of studies carried out over the last 20 years, the risks of radiation are well understood. Given correct interpretation of symptoms and adequate technical resources, the risks of treating non-malignant diseases by irradiation are of the same order of magnitude, or less than those attending other medical procedures. Radiotherapy is very often the most effective treatment and on occasion can even be life-saving. It can also be used where other methods have failed.
