Opis

Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) allows clinicians to improve targeting accuracy and safely increase dosage administration without increasing toxicity in normal, healthy tissue areas. This can result in better outcomes for lymphoma patients. An ideal text for radiation oncologists, hematologist-oncologists, and radiologists, this book is an essential source for information on IGRT and its crucial role in the clinical evolution of high-precision ionizing beam therapy. Topics include the basics of functional imaging in lymphoma diagnosis and staging and systematic management options for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
