Series: Imaging in Medical Diagnosis and Therapy

Image-guided radiation treatment (IGRT) is rapidly becoming the standard in external-beam radiation therapy. Its advantages include greater precision, reduced likelihood of positioning errors, and online correction of motion errors. This volume provides a cutting-edge overview of the latest IGRT technology and systems, including an historical perspective, discussion of future directions, and insights from the firsthand experiences of the expert authors. Each chapter discusses the geometry of the imaging and treatment system, relevant imaging principles and algorithms, treatment principles, image fidelity (scatter, spatial, and contrast resolution), and clinical applications.

Reviews for Image-Guided Radiation Therapy

Image-Guided Radiation Therapy contains valuable information on the history of image-guided radiation treatment (IGRT), imaging systems, and secondary technologies. It is extensive in the explanation of how such systems are used clinically, and it covers most of the devices offered by manufacturers today. It is truly a remarkable compilation of focused and detailed chapters that span the art of image-guided radiation therapy. -Michael S. Gossman, Medical Physics, June 2012
