Detailing multi-modality image co-registration and radiobiology, this book discusses state-of-the-art strategies for patient simulation and immobilization, treatment planning, and dose calculation algorithms in stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT). It presents a comprehensive treatment of the field’s history, major technological developments, clinical status, and practical considerations. The three main sections of the book cover delivery systems, precision patient positioning and immobilization, and treatment planning and dosimetry. The final section gives an overview of clinical outcomes and future directions for the field.
Written by internationally known experts in the field, Stereotactic Radiosurgery and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy examines one of the fastest-developing subspecialties within radiation oncology. These procedures deliver large doses of radiation in one to five sessions to a precisely determined target. Often these techniques have proven to be as or more effective than traditional radiation therapy techniques, while at the same time being cost-efficient and convenient for the patient.
These techniques, however, require careful planning, specialized equipment, and well-trained staff. This volume provides a cutting-edge look at the biological and technical underpinnings of SRS and SBRT techniques. It includes a history of the development of SRS and SBRT; clinical applications of the techniques; dedicated devices for delivering precisely shaped, high doses of radiation; use of in-room imaging for treatment planning and treatment guidance; immobilization techniques for accurate targeting; and future developments that will continue to evolve and refine existing techniques.
A valuable introduction to those just learning about these specialized techniques, and an ideal reference for those who are already implementing them, this book covers a wide variety of topics, with clear discussions of each aspect of the technology employed.
