Book Description

ISBN-10: 0340706317 | ISBN-13: 978-0340706312 | Publication Date: July 8, 1999 | Edition: 3

The first two editions of this popular text have established it as the number one choice for the trainee radiographer and radiation oncologist, providing the core basics of planning in a practical and accessible manner. This third edition has been thoroughly revised and updated throughout, yet maintains the authors' original straightforward approach. With three new chapters to cover recent developments in the field, the introduction of further reading and the inclusion of a colour plate section to illustrate 3-D imaging, "Practical Radiotherapy Planning" remains both an essential training aid and invaluable ready reference for the radiotherapist in practice.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is a concise overview of radiation treatment planning principles. It will be of benefit to radiation oncology residents, dosimetrists, and radiation therapists. There are other texts that cover some of these topics in greater depth, but this book would serve as a good introduction or succinct review for practitioners and students." --Doody's

This review is from: Practical Radiotherapy Planning (Hodder Arnold Publication) (Paperback)

Es un buen libro básico, pero le falta profundidad, así como explicaciones y diagramas mas técnicos, mas paso a paso de las técnicas de Radioterapia.
