"Readers will come away with an understanding of the basic concepts of quality management process control and risk management, as well as an overview of quality assurance for nearly every treatment-related system used in radiotherapy. The short, focused chapters...provide a comprehensive review without being overwhelming. Because of its comprehensive nature, students as well as seasoned radiation therapy will find this book useful. Physicists relatively new to the field will find the QA sections at the end of the book to be an excellent overview of the range of QA procedures one can encounter in radiation therapy. Administrators may be surprised to see the wide range of treatment and imaging devices that require QA by medical physicists as well as the extensive set of tests that need to be done. I was especially interested in the first four sections on radiotherapy applications for patient safety, FMEA, human factors engineering, process improvement, and errors & near miss reporting."
