Description

Intended for radiation oncologists and therapy technicians, this book reflects advances in the technology and practice of both diagnostic and therapeutic radiology. Approaches to the treatment of cancer have been modified utilizing multiple modalities as well as combinations of external beam and brachytherapy. Chapters new to this edition include discussions of diagnostic techniques in determining tumour size and location, soft tissue sarcomas and simulation. The importance of accurate localization, adequate dosage and reproducability of the daily treatment fields as essential to quality radiation therapy is stressed.
