Proton Therapy Physics
Author: Harald Paganetti
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1439836450
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 691
Book Description
Proton Therapy Physics goes beyond current books on proton therapy to provide an in-depth overview of the physics aspects of this radiation therapy modality, eliminating the need to dig through information scattered in the medical physics literature. After tracing the history of proton therapy, the book summarizes the atomic and nuclear physics background necessary for understanding proton interactions with tissue. It describes the physics of proton accelerators, the parameters of clinical proton beams, and the mechanisms to generate a conformal dose distribution in a patient. The text then covers detector systems and measuring techniques for reference dosimetry, outlines basic quality assurance and commissioning guidelines, and gives examples of Monte Carlo simulations in proton therapy. The book moves on to discussions of treatment planning for single- and multiple-field uniform doses, dose calculation concepts and algorithms, and precision and uncertainties for nonmoving and moving targets. It also examines computerized treatment plan optimization, methods for in vivo dose or beam range verification, the safety of patients and operating personnel, and the biological implications of using protons from a physics perspective. The final chapter illustrates the use of risk models for common tissue complications in treatment optimization. Along with exploring quality assurance issues and biological considerations, this practical guide collects the latest clinical studies on the use of protons in treatment planning and radiation monitoring. Suitable for both newcomers in medical physics and more seasoned specialists in radiation oncology, the book helps readers understand the uncertainties and limitations of precisely shaped dose distribution.

Synchrotron Radiation Instrumentation
Author: Ernest Fontes
Publisher: A I P Press
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
The Tenth United States National Conference on Synchrotron Radiation Instrumentation was held June 17-20, 1997 at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. The SRI National meeting is held every two years, and this year was hosted by CHESS, the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source. As a national meeting, it serves as a venue for all light sources in the United States to discuss the latest, most advanced capabilities in the fields of X-ray and VUV synchrotron radiation. Topics for this year's meeting included: Facilities: history, status, and upgrades Sources: insertion devices, laser, excited and other High-tech: beam stabilization, beamline hardware, and control Optics: novel design, fabrication, testing and use Small stuff: making and imaging micro structures Real-time: in-situ measurements and materials characterization Detectors: large, small, fast, and energy-resolving
