Description:
This book fills a niche that is currently lacking in radiation therapy and rad tech books -- step-by-step instructions explaining how to position and immobilize patients in preparation for radiation treatment of different body regions. It is timely in view of the increasing use of 3-D Treatment Planning (3DTP) and Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) techniques where small margins and high doses often are used. Most chapters contain a review of current literature on treatment accuracy and patient immobilization with more than 300 references. Detailed descriptions of fabrication and use of various immobilization devices accompanied by more than 200 clear illustrations make this an invaluable guide to improved targeting in radiation therapy.
