Practical Implementation of Light Ion Beam Treatments
by: Michael Farley Moyers and Stanislav M. Vatnitsky
ISBN: 978-1-930524-55-2
$175.00
This book is indexed and includes a DVD with figures and tables in color.

The number of light ion beam (including protons) treatment programs is rapidly increasing worldwide; however, there are currently no practical guides to support the acceptance testing, commissioning, treatment planning, and routine quality assurance of these programs. This book is aimed at individuals who are involved in those activities with respect to light ion beam treatment delivery. The reader should already be familiar with the fundamentals of radiation treatment including interaction of ionization radiation with matter and the main features of stopping powers, multiple Coulomb scattering, and nuclear reactions used to characterize the penetration of charged particles through heterogeneous tissues. Typically these individuals are medical physicists with responsibilities for calibration and verification of beam delivery, quality assurance, and computerized treatment planning; however, other individuals may also find the book useful. The book provides practical recommendations and guides the reader through the steps of the treatment process focusing on practical details.
An excerpt from the Forward by Paul M. DeLuca, Jr.:
I note that this text resulted from earlier conversations with the authors dealing with the content of the recent ICRU Report on Proton Therapy. What was immediately clear was the need for a text that would serve as a guide for members of the proton radiation oncology community, hence this text. The present text provides an exhaustive treatment of the clinical use of energetic protons for cancer therapy. The approach is pragmatic and clinically focused and will serve as a well-used handbook for clinical proton physics.

Advances in Medical Physics Library Special
$299.00 for the Complete 4 Book Series
|
The popular biennial series, Advances in Medical Physics is available in a 4 volume library set. The Advances in Medical Physics Series, appearing first in 2006, was created to help medical physicists, technically inclined physicians, and other professionals to stay current in medical radiation science and technology in subfields other than their own.
The series is directed primarily at medical physicists and engineers, including both those who focus largely on a few areas of research and their colleagues who multitask in smaller clinics. It will also be of interest to the growing number of diagnostic, radiation oncology, and other physicians with a technical background and an active curiosity about the formation of images and the treatment of patients with various forms of radiation. It should offer support in the instruction of medical, medical physics and engineering students, as well as of radiology and radiation therapy residents. Radiation biologists, health physicists, and those concerned with medical information technology may also find this series of value. A number of the chapters in each volume should be of general interest to a wide medical physics readership.
The Library Set includes:
Advances in Medical Physics: 2006
Advances in Medical Physics: 2008
Advances in Medical Physics: 2010
Advances in Medical Physics: 2012
Save $100.00 by purchasing the set of 4 volumes.
