This volume features the application of different technologies, and latest knowledge in radiosurgery, for various intracranial disorders. It presents results on how to avoid and manage complications as well as findings on refinements and developments in stereotactic techniques.
IMRT represents a new paradigm in the radiation therapy process that requires knowledge of multimodality imaging, setup uncertainties and internal organ motion, tumor control probabilities, normal tissue complication probabilities, three-dimensional dose calculation and optimization and dynamic beam delivery of non-uniform beam intensities. Written by contributors who are among the foremost in the field, this book presents a snapshot of the current IMRT planning and delivery technology. It discusses issues that confront safe implementation of IMRT and encourages reflection on its future. The result is a "handbook" that will aid both experienced radiation oncology physicists and newcomers to the field in understanding the nuances of IMRT and its safe implementation in the clinics. The level of presentation is designed for practicing medical physicists who are not specialists in IMRT. Some issues such as imaging and target delineation, quality assurance and its frequency, and achievable accuracy are discussed in multiple chapters and from differing points of view, reflecting the diversity of opinions in this rapidly evolving field.
Tuberkulosis (TB) adalah penyakit infeksi yang disebabkan oleh basil Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), yang umumnya menyerang paru, dikenal sebagai TB paru tetapi juga dapat menginfeksi area diluar paru (TB ekstra paru). Diagnosis dan manajemen tuberkulosis (TB) tetap menantang dan kompleks dikarenakan heterogenitas presentasi penyakit. Meskipun pengobatan telah efektif, penyakit TB dapat menyebabkan konsekuensi kesehatan jangka pendek maupun jangka panjang yang signifikan. Komplikasi terdiri dari komplikasi respiratorik maupun non respiratorik yang berasal dari gangguan sistemik, metabolik, infeksi, atau gangguan struktural anatomis akibat infeksi TB yang baru maupun riwayat penyakit terdah...
