Image-Guided Radiation Therapy

Advancing patient care, this book focuses on a wealth of hybrid IGRT technologies and devices for coupled imaging and treatment inside the radiation treatment room. Expert authors explore the decades-long technological developments that have occurred in the realm of image-guided conformal, customized radiation treatment. They thoroughly cover the modalities, software tools, and imaging treatment geometries that constitute IGRT. They also describe the clinical uses and impact of IGRT technologies on head–neck, prostate, lung, brain, and breast cancer treatments.
