Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy: Clinical Evidence and Techniques
Successful clinical use of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) represents a significant advance in radiation oncology. Because IMRT can deliver high-dose radiation to a target with a reduced dose to the surrounding organs, it can improve the local control rate and reduce toxicities associat...

Since IMRT began being used in the mid-1990s, a large volume of clinical evidence of the advantages of IMRT has been collected.

This book, by authors renowned for their expertise in their fields, provides cumulative clinical evidence and appropriate techniques for IMRT for the clinician and the physicist. Part I deals with the foundations and techniques, history, principles, QA, treatment planning, radiobiology and related aspects of IMRT. Part II covers clinical applications with several case studies, describing contouring and dose distribution with clinical results along with descriptions of indications and a review of clinical evidence for each tumor site. The information presented in this book serves as a valuable resource for the practicing clinician and physicist. 2016-04-01T01:17:31Z 2016-04-01T01:17:31Z 2015 Book 978-4-431-55486-8 978-4-431-55485-1 https://scholar.dlu.edu.vn/thuvienso/handle/DLU123456789/59966 en application/pdf Springer |
