Gynecologic Radiation Therapy
Recent advances in the treatment of gynecologic malignancies led to a new worldwide consensus to introduce image guidance to gynecologic radiation therapy, particularly to brachytherapy. The book summarizes the changed practice of management: treatment planning for cervical cancer, not modified for over 60 years, has been shifted to an image-based approach, endometrial cancer management with an increase in the use of chemotherapy and vaginal brachytherapy, and vaginal cancer therapy including image guidance and high-dose delivery with IMRT.
Comprehensive Brachytherapy
Modern brachytherapy is one of the most important oncological treatment modalities requiring an integrated approach that utilizes new technologies, advanced clinical imaging facilities, and a thorough understanding of the radiobiological effects on different tissues, the principles of physics, dosimetry techniques and protocols, and clinical expertise. A complete overview of the field, Comprehensive Brachytherapy: Physical and Clinical Aspects is a landmark publication, presenting a detailed account of the underlying physics, design, and implementation of the techniques, along with practical guidance for practitioners. Bridging the gap between research and application, this single source brings together the technological basis, radiation dosimetry, quality assurance, and fundamentals of brachytherapy. In addition, it presents discussion of the most recent clinical practice in brachytherapy including prostate, gynecology, breast, and other clinical treatment sites. Along with exploring new clinical protocols, it discusses major advances in imaging, robotics, dosimetry, Monte Carlo-based dose calculation, and optimization.
Quality and Safety in Radiotherapy
The first text to focus solely on quality and safety in radiotherapy, this work encompasses not only traditional, more technically oriented, quality assurance activities, but also general approaches of quality and safety. It includes contributions from experts both inside and outside the field to present a global view. The task of assuring quality
Emerging Technologies in Brachytherapy
Brachytherapy is continuously advancing. Years of accumulated experience have led to clinical evidence of its benefit in numerous clinical sites such as gynecological, prostate, breast, rectum, ocular, and many other cancers. Brachytherapy continues to expand in its scope of practice and complexity, driven by strong academic and commercial research, by advances in competing modalities, and due to the diversity in the political and economic landscape. It is a true challenge for practicing professionals and students to readily grasp the overarching trends of the field, especially of those technologies and innovative practices that are not yet established but are certainly on the rise.

New Technologies in Radiation Oncology
- Summarizes the state of the art in the most relevant areas of medical physics and engineering applied to radiation oncology - Covers all relevant areas of the subject in detail, including 3D imaging and image processing, 3D treatment planning, modern treatment techniques, patient positioning, and aspects of verification and quality assurance - Conveys information in a readily understandable way that will appeal to professionals and students with a medical background as well as to newcomers to radiation oncology from the field of physics
Radiological Protection of Patients in Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Radiotherapy : Proceedings of an International Conference Held in Malaga, Spain, 26-30 March 2001
The medical applications of ionizing radiation represent by far the largest human-made source of ionizing radiation exposure. The proceedings provide an overview of the state of the practice in each of the topics discussed, the discussions on the topical sessions and the round tables, and the conclusions and recommendations.

Brachytherapy
This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of major technical advances and research findings in the field of brachytherapy. Especially research conducted on brachytherapy in Japan has made tremendous strides, offering readers valuable insights into new treatment outcomes, evidence and techniques. In the respective chapters, each author elucidates cutting-edge findings, addressing both the basic and clinical aspects including the application to various cancers, and especially focusing on highly valuable data gleaned in Japan. As such, the book will benefit not only radiation oncologists but also basic researchers, radiation technologists, medical physicists and members of medical staff who are involved in the development and utilization of this advanced therapy.

Kardiovaskuläre Strahlentherapie
Als wesentliche Behandlungsmethode von Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen hat sich in den letzten 20 Jahren die wenig invasive Wiederöffnung von verschlossenen Gefäßen durch Kathetertechniken etabliert. Das Hauptproblem dieser Katheterintervention - die häufige Wiederholung der Prozedur aufgrund von erneuten Gefäßeinengungen im Behandlungsgebiet - lässt sich durch eine gezielte Strahlentherapie beseitigen. Dieses Buch erläutert die Ursachen der Rezidivstenose sowie Grundlagen und Praxis der Strahlentherapie zur Verbesserung der Langzeitergebnisse von Katheterinterventionen und zeigt die Ergebnisse erster klinischer Studien. Neu in der 2. Auflage: neue Instrumente der koronaren Brachytherapie, Ergebnisse der großenmultizentrischen Studien zu den koronaren Betastrahlern, Brachytherapie-Studie bei der pAVK, neue Erkenntnisse zur Gefäßthrombose und zum Kanteneffekt nach vaskulärer Brachytherapie, aktueller Stand der Gesetzeslage zur Anwendung der Brachytherapie.
