Khan's The Physics of Radiation Therapy 5e

Expand your understanding of the physics and practical clinical applications of advanced radiation therapy technologies
with Khan's The Physics of Radiation Therapy, 5th edition, the book that set the standard in the field. This classic
full-color text helps the entire radiation therapy team뾯adiation oncologists, medical physicists, dosimetrists, and
radiation therapists뾡evelop a thorough understanding of 3D conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT), stereotactic radiosurgery
(SRS), high dose-rate remote afterloaders (HDR), intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), image-guided radiation
therapy (IGRT), Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT), and proton beam therapy, as well as the physical concepts
underlying treatment planning, treatment delivery, and dosimetry.

In preparing this new Fifth Edition, Dr. Kahn and new co-author Dr. John Gibbons made chapter-by-chapter revisions in
the light of the latest developments in the field, adding new discussions, a new chapter, and new color illustrations
throughout. Now even more precise and relevant, this edition is ideal as a reference book for practitioners, a textbook
for students, and a constant companion for those preparing for their board exams.
