Produktbeschreibung

Adaptive Radiation Therapy (ART) offers the promise of highly individualized radiation treatment for cancer patients through customized planning and delivery. This comprehensive book, the first focused on this evolving therapy, explores ways to optimize radiation plans. This includes the use of patient-specific 3D and 4D morphological and biological information to help define targets and individualize post-treatment assessment. It brings together world-class experts who discuss technologies for the delivery of treatments across various modalities. They also review clinical examples that demonstrate modern applications of ART for various cancers.
