On-Treatment Verification Imaging: A Study Guide for IGRT de Mike Kirby

On-Treatment Verification Imaging: A Study Guide for IGRT: Series in Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering

Autor Mike Kirby, Kerrie-Anne Calder
en Limba Engleză Hardback – mai 2019
On-treatment verification imaging has developed rapidly in recent years and is now at the heart of image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) and all aspects of radiotherapy planning and treatment delivery.
This is the first book dedicated to just this important topic, which is written in an accessible manner for undergraduate and graduate therapeutic radiography (radiation therapist) students and trainee medical physicists and clinicians. The later sections of the book will also help established medical physicists, therapeutic radiographers, and radiation therapists familiarise themselves with developing and cutting-edge techniques in IGRT.
Features:
  • Clinically focused and internationally applicable; covering a wide range of topics related to on-treatment verification imaging for the study of IGRT
  • Accompanied by a library of electronic teaching and assessment resources for further learning and understanding
  • Authored by experts in the field with over 18 years’ experience of pioneering the original forms of on-treatment verification imaging in radiotherapy (electronic portal imaging) in clinical practice, as well as substantial experience of teaching the techniques to trainees

Recenzii

“On-treatment verification imaging has developed rapidly in recent years and is now at the heart of image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) and all aspects of radiotherapy planning and treatment delivery. This is the first book dedicated to just this important topic, which is written in an accessible manner for undergraduate and graduate therapeutic radiography (radiation therapist) students and trainee medical physicists and clinicians. The later sections of the book will also help established medical physicists, therapeutic radiographers, and radiation therapists familiarise themselves with developing and cutting-edge techniques in IGRT. This book's aim is to teach the principles and the practice of IGRT. Both authors, Mike Kirby and Kerrie-Anne Calder, have extensive experience in clinical and academic radiotherapy. Their passion for educating and training multidisciplinary teams of radiotherapy professionals is evident throughout the text. Although it is written with a U.K. perspective, the authors, with the help of an ample list of references, provide a good overview of IGRT as it is practiced globally. The book is written by keeping in mind the needs of radiation therapists who are working in radiation oncology departments. It could also serve as an introductory IGRT text for medical physicists and allied clinical staff, such as physicists in training and medical residents and clinicians. Parts of the book are devoted to IGRT quality assurance (QA) and commissioning, incident reporting, and staff training, which should appeal to all medical physicists working in radiotherapy.
 
This well-written book could serve as a template for an IGRT training course and would be a nice teaching tool for radiation therapists and junior physicists. It provides a comprehensive review of a range of topics pertaining to the clinical implementation of IGRT, including imaging techniques, image tools and protocols, treatment errors, and correction strategies. Interested readers should benefit from reading important sections on staff training, incident reporting, and IGRT commissioning and QA. In summary, the book is a welcome addition to the IGRT literature aimed at safe and effective delivery of radiotherapy.”
