Target Volume Delineation and Field Setup: A Practical Guide for Conformal and Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy, now in its revised and updated second edition, is an essential resource for radiation oncologists seeking to enhance their skills in target volume delineation and field setup in radiation oncology. This comprehensive guide is specifically designed to serve as a concise reference for both new and experienced practitioners.
With an emphasis on practical application, this guide offers:
- In-depth clinical cases tailored to different stages of malignancies commonly encountered in radiation oncology.
- Clear guidance on simulation, setup, and field design for optimal patient treatment.
- Step-by-step examples illustrating slice-by-slice target volume delineation for various clinical scenarios.
The second edition thoroughly addresses modern radiotherapy field design, incorporating the latest guidelines on:
- Immobilization techniques to enhance treatment precision.
- Simulation methods for 3D-conformal radiotherapy.
- Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) strategies to maximize tumor control while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.
- Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) protocols for delivering highly targeted radiation doses.
Written by leading experts in the field, this guide provides invaluable insights
