Includes bibliographical references and index.

Physics and biology of treatment planning -- Introduction: process, equipment, and personnel -- Imaging in radiotherapy -- Patient data acquisition -- Patient and organ movement -- Patient positioning and immobilization -- Treatment simulation -- Treatment planning algorithms: model-based photon dose calculations -- Treatment planning algorithms: brachytherapy -- Treatment planning algorithms: electron beams -- Treatment planning algorithms: proton therapy -- Commissioning and quality assurance -- Three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy -- Intensity-modulated radiation therapy -- Image-guided radiation therapy -- Cranial radiosurgery -- Stereotactic body radiation therapy -- Low dose-rate brachytherapy -- High-dose-rate brachytherapy treatment planning -- Radiation therapy using high-energy electron beams -- Proton beam therapy -- Fractionation: radiobiological principles and clinical practice -- Tolerance of normal tissue to therapeutic radiation -- Treatment plan evaluation -- Treatment planning for specific cancers -- Cancers of the gastrointestinal tract -- Gynecologic malignancies -- Cancer of the genitourinary tract -- Lymphomas -- Cancers of the head and neck -- Cancers of the skin, including mycosis fungoides -- Breast cancer -- Cancers of the central nervous system -- Pediatric malignancies -- Cancers of the thorax -- Extremity soft-tissue sarcomas.

"With the advent of computer technology and medical imaging, treatment planning in radiation oncology has evolved from a way of devising beam arrangements to a sophisticated process whereby imaging scanners are used to define target volume, simulators are used to outline treatment volume, and computers are used to select optimal beam arrangements for treatment. As such, this book is designed to provide a comprehensive discussion of the clinical, physical, and technical aspects of treatment planning. The intent of Treatment Planning in Radiation Oncology is to review these methodologies and present a contemporary version of the treatment planning process"--Provided by publisher.
