New Technologies in Radiation Oncology

New Technologies in Radiation Oncology edited by Wolfgang C. Schlegel, Thomas Bortfeld, Anca Ligia Grosu.

This book provides an overview of recent advances in radiation oncology, many of which have originated from physics and engineering sciences. After an introductory section on basic aspects of 3D medical imaging, the role of 3D imaging in the context of radiotherapy is explored in a series of chapter...
