As modern radiation therapy grows more complex and precision is even more critical, clinicians and physicists need a clear, accessible resource that translates current best practices into actionable guidance. Radiation Oncology Physics, 2nd Edition, offers concise, practice‑focused information on the current technologies, processes, and safety principles that support safe and effective patient care across today’s radiation oncology departments. This fully revised edition provides streamlined coverage of fundamentals, external beam therapy, brachytherapy, imaging, and emerging modalities such as MR‑guided and particle therapy—all of the important content you need in a clinically focused, best practice handbook.
    • Features a reorganized structure that provides a more holistic, clinically intuitive flow across all topics
    • Contains new chapters on MR in radiotherapy, particle therapy, and leadership and professionalism, as well as an updated and restructured brachytherapy section to reflect current clinical practice
    • Includes therapeutic applications of x-rays, gamma rays, electron and charged particle beams, neutrons, and radiation from sealed radionuclide sources, plus the equipment associated with their production, use, measurement, and evaluation
    • Incorporates newly published recommendations from professional societies throughout, including AAPM, ASTRO, ABS, ACR, IAEA, and more
    • Provides a user-friendly appendix with annotated compilations of all relevant recommendation documents
    • An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud. Additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date
