Recenzii
“The book delves into the present challenges and issues encountered in ion therapy, exploring how Monte Carlo techniques can effectively tackle them. This volume addresses many issues including but not limited to particle dosimetry, calculation uncertainties, Linear Energy Transfer (LET), heavy ion specific quality assurance techniques, and relative biological effects…This book is an invaluable resource and reference for anyone interested in learning about the use and application of Monte Carlo techniques in particle therapy. While all chapters are relevant for Heavy Charge Particle therapy, some also apply to proton therapy. Certain topics, such as dosimetry, are well-established and serve as excellent reference material. However, other areas like FLASH and AI are currently undergoing intense research. Although these chapters may evolve rapidly, they provide valuable insights into cutting-edge developments in the field. While the book covers a wide range of topics, it reads more like a collection of individual subjects rather than a cohesive unit. Nonetheless, its comprehensive coverage and authoritative contributors ensure its significance as a comprehensive resource in the field.”
