Opis

This book provides an invaluable tutorial for radiation oncologists, medical physicists, and dosimetrists involved in the planning optimization phase of treatment. It presents a practical, accessible, and comprehensive summary of the field’s current research and knowledge regarding the response of normal tissues to radiation.

O autorze

Claudio Fiorino has more than 20-years of experience as a medical physicist, fully dedicated to radiotherapy, including both routine and development/research aspects. He is member of the Physics Committee of ESTRO (from 2007) and recently elected as member of the ESTRO Board. He is member of the Editorial Board of Physica Medica (EJMP) (2001), Radiotherapy and Oncology (2003), Radiation Oncology (2007); he was Associate Senior Physics Editor of the Int. J. Radiation Oncology Biol Phys (2012-2013) and is actually Associate Editor of Physica Medica (EJMP) since 2014. He received the Italian accreditation for University teaching (Physics: applied) for associate professorship (2013).  He is author or co-author of several book chapters and of 167 full papers (Scopus) with, in total, more than 3400 citations, h-index: 35 (Scopus: 01/05/2016).

Tiziana Rancati's main activities include development of NTCP models for the description of radioinduced toxicity with engagement in the task force of QUANTEC (Quantitative Analysis of Normal Tissue Effects in the Clinic) and in the task force of PENTEC (Pediatric Normal Tissue Effects in the Clinic). She is a teacher in seminars and courses on radiobiology, statistics  and modelling normal tissue reactions following radiation therapy. She is currently member of the editorial board of the World Journal of Clinical Oncology (since 2015). She received the Italian accreditation for University teaching (Physics: applied) for associate professorship (2013). She is author or co-author of book chapters and of 67 full papers ≈1830 citations, h-index=22, Scopus: 12/04/2016).
