This comprehensive book covers the everyday use and underlying principles of radiation dosimeters used in radiation oncology clinics. It provides an up-to-date reference spanning the full range of current modalities with emphasis on practical know-how. The main audience is medical physicists, radiation oncology physics residents, and medical physics graduate students. The reader gains the necessary tools for determining which detector is best for a given application. Dosimetry of cutting edge techniques from radiosurgery to MRI-guided systems to small fields and proton therapy are all addressed. Main topics include fundamentals of radiation dosimeters, brachytherapy and external beam radiation therapy dosimetry, and dosimetry of imaging modalities. Comprised of 30 chapters authored by leading experts in the medical physics community, the book:

Covers the basic principles and practical use of radiation dosimeters in radiation oncology clinics across the full range of current modalities.
Focuses on providing practical guidance for those using these detectors in the clinic.
Explains which detector is more suitable for a particular application.
Discusses the state of the art in radiotherapy approaches, from radiosurgery and MR-guided systems to advanced range verification techniques in proton therapy.
Gives critical comparisons of dosimeters for photon, electron, and proton therapies.

Industry Reviews

"The rapid rate of developments and innovations in the field of radiotherapy currently in 2021 requires medical physicists to take stock of existing knowledge and link it to current and future directions. [This book] accepts this challenge. . . . [It] is indeed a 'Practical Handbook' for Radiotherapy Dosimetry in the 2020s and a valuable resource for up-to-date teaching of the next generation of radiotherapy physicists."

-Margaret Moore, Head of Radiotherapy Physics at University Hospital Galway, in European Medical Physics News, Autumn 2021 (pg 37)
