Adaptive Radiotherapy: Transforming Technology, Modern Practice, and Clinical Impact from the 2026 AAPM Summer School explores the shift in radiation oncology from static, pre-treatment models to continuous, real-time adaptation. It provides a comprehensive, educational resource on the clinical and technical advancements in Adaptive Radiotherapy (ART).

The field of radiation oncology is entering an era driven by intelligent systems, continuous adaptation, and real-time decision-making. As the official publication of the 2026 Summer School on Adaptive Radiotherapy (ART), this volume captures the program's scientific, technical, and clinical content. It serves as an essential educational resource for the medical physics community.

ART has rapidly evolved from a theoretical concept to a clinically viable standard of care. This book details how substantial breakthroughs in technology are transforming practice:

This monograph serves as an invaluable reference for medical physicists, radiation oncologists, dosimetrists, and therapists seeking to understand the fundamentals, workflows, and technological foundations that drive the future of radiotherapy.

Diagnostic Imaging for Medical Physicists (DIMP) is a modular reference that connects theoretical physics with clinical practice. It provides a comprehensive overview of the scientific foundations, safety protocols, and ethical considerations essential to modern medical imaging.

Core Components:
  • Contributed Expertise: Authored by 19 board-certified professionals, including 17 medical physicists and 1 radiologist, representing academic, industrial, and private practice.
  • Modular Scope: 14 chapters cover fundamental modalities (X-ray, CT, MRI) alongside specialized technologies (DEXA, Mammography, CBCT).
  • Exam-Ready Prep: Over 300+ exam-style questions with a "didactic" answer key. Each answer includes detailed justifications, illustrations, and references.
  • Technical Advances: Includes coverage of emerging fields such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning,Informatics (PACS/DICOM), and advanced image quality optimization.
  • Clinical Safety: Dedicated sections on Radiobiology, Radiation Protection, and Image Quality optimization (SNR/CNR).
  • Professionalism: A final focus on the ethical dimensions of patient care, confidentiality, and error management.

    • To remain current with the latest advances in technology and clinical techniques, the authors intend to release periodically revised editions. This ensures the material remains aligned with evolving knowledge of imaging physics and regulatory standards.

    This resource is intended for medical physics trainees preparing for certification and practicing physicists seeking a review of current technologies and regulatory expectations.

    ISBN: Hardcover 978-1-951134-20-4
    eBook 978-1-951134-21-1


    Sample Chapter [pdf format]

    While intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is now a standard practice in some regions, many clinical facilities worldwide have yet to integrate these advanced techniques. Following the initial adoption of IMRT, radiation oncology teams often encounter a significant challenge: attaining proficiency in the planning process for diverse anatomical sites.

    A Practical Guide to Inversely Optimized Treatment Planning serves as a comprehensive resource for those venturing into IMRT for the first time. This book not only details the essential technical prerequisites but also provides valuable insights and recommendations for inverse planning with an emphasis on planning procedures for diverse anatomical sites. Readers will benefit from the inclusion of sample plans derived from three of the most prevalent treatment planning systems (TPS), facilitating a smoother transition and proficiency in IMRT adoption. This book is a vital read for radiation oncology teams worldwide, offering invaluable guidance for effective IMRT implementation.
