Book Description
This book is a comprehensive and authoritative treatise of the scientific principles of brachytherapy by remote afterloading, and its applications in clinical practice. The former are covered in two sections - radiobiology and physics - while the third section is devoted to the clinical application of the technique in relation to specific tumour sites. The design and provision of a brachytherapy service, quality assurance and cost implications are also discussed. Aimed at medical physicists and radiotherapists in training and in practice, Principles and Practice of Brachytherapy will be an invaluable addition to the library of any oncology and radiology centre.
