Editorial Reviews
Review
The Radiographer, Dr. Raymond Budd --
"There should be few, if any, radiation therapy physicists or technologists who are not familiar with Faiz Khan's text The Physics of Radiation Therapy. Since its first edition in 1984 it has established itself as a leading reference text for all involved in the use of ionising radiation for cancer treatment. All of the chapters in this new edition are extensively referenced and many of them have worked examples in support of the presented materials. The book is clinically oriented and presents practical aspects as well as underlying theory to clarify basic concepts. Many of the illustrations have been revised to reflect current practice and they greatly benefit from the enlarged format. This excellent book will continue to be a valuable resource to the entire radiation oncology team. There is little more to be said, other than it should be mandatory reading for all those involved in radiation therapy practice."?Dr. Raymond Budd, The Radiographer

Product Description
Dr. Khan's classic textbook on radiation oncology physics is now in its thoroughly revised and updated Fourth Edition. It provides the entire radiation therapy team--radiation oncologists, medical physicists, dosimetrists, and radiation therapists--with a thorough understanding of the physics and practical clinical applications of advanced radiation therapy technologies, including 3D-CRT, stereotactic radiotherapy, HDR, IMRT, IGRT, and proton beam therapy. These technologies are discussed along with the physical concepts underlying treatment planning, treatment delivery, and dosimetry. This Fourth Edition includes brand-new chapters on image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) and proton beam therapy. Other chapters have been revised to incorporate the most recent developments in the field. This edition also features more than 100 full-color illustrations throughout. A companion Website will offer the fully searchable text and an image bank.
