What is Handbook of Radiotherapy Physics: Theory and Practice, Second Edition, Two Volume Set about?

From the essential background physics and radiobiology to the latest imaging and treatment modalities, the updated second edition of Handbook of Radiotherapy Physics: Theory and Practice covers all aspects of the subject. In Volume I, Part A includes the Interaction of Radiation with Matter- charged particles and photons - and the Fundamentals of Dosimetry- with an extensive section on small-field physics. Part B covers Radiobiologywith increased emphasis on hypofractionation. Part C describes Equipment for Imaging and Therapyincluding MR-guided linear accelerators. Part D on Dose Measurementincludes chapters on ionisation chambers, solid-state detectors, film and gels, as well as a detailed description and explanation of Codes of Practice for Reference Dose Determination including detector correction factors in small fields. Part E describes the properties of Clinical (external) Beams. The various methods (or ''algorithms'') for Computing Doses in Patientsirradiated by photon, electron and proton beams are described in Part F with increased emphasis on Monte-Carlo-based and grid-based deterministic algorithms. In Volume 2, Part G covers all aspects of Treatment Planningincluding C
