Series: Imaging in Medical Diagnosis and Therapy

A complete overview of the subject, this book discusses the role of information in the process of radiation oncology, acquisition, communication, and display of data; infrastructure requirements; and the use of data in clinical evaluation and research. It describes essential informatics tools, including various imaging techniques and image management systems, treatment planning systems, radiation oncology management systems, and the electronic medical record. Expert contributors explain how to obtain imaging and other diagnostic information as well as treatment prescriptions, treatment setup and delivery data, and outcome reviews.

Reviews for Informatics in Radiation Oncology

With the broad development and implementation of advanced technologies and systems, the book fills a gap in the knowledge domain of informatics in radiation oncology. The book provides a way to advance our field by deepening our knowledge of informatics and improving the efficiency of processes and effectiveness of our treatments. The book is comprehensive in scope with relevant discussions of informatics principles in radiation oncology that are not available in any other books. -Moyed Miften, PhD, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Aurora, USA
