Descripción

  • Comprehensive coverage of radiation therapy includes a clear introduction and overview plus complete information on physics, simulation, and treatment planning
  • Chapter objectives, key terms, outlines and summaries in each chapter help you organize information and ensure you understand what is most important
  • End-of-chapter questions and questions to ponder provide opportunity for review and greater challenge
  • Bolded and defined key terms are highlighted at first mention in the text and included in an expanded glossary
  • Spotlight boxes highlight concepts and offer the most important information as it appears in the chapters
  • Considerations about how the role changed because of pandemic, addition of remote work outside of administering treatment, changes to equipment
  • Updating MRI
  • Operational Issues Course
  • Updated! Management for Radiation Therapists
