Opis

Adaptive Radiation Therapy (ART) offers the promise of highly individualized radiation treatment for cancer patients through customized planning and delivery. This comprehensive book, the first focused on this evolving therapy, explores ways to optimize radiation plans. This includes the use of patient-specific 3D and 4D morphological and biolog
