"The editors, all very accomplished and extremely knowledgeable of
the field, assembled a fine collection of authors to write on the
widely varied topics. … a very good compilation on brachytherapy
physics and the current state of the practice …"
—Bruce Thomadsen, Medical Physics, November 2013"… an excellent
reference text which represents the current status of brachytherapy
for all clinical sites and sets the scene for how it will continue
to progress. Readers will be particularly pleased to find
discussions on margin concepts, radiobiology and 3- and 4-D imaging
modalities for planning, as well as a thorough review of a range of
modern techniques. … The amount of detail included is extensive …
Excellent references are given throughout. … This will certainly be
a key reference for today’s brachytherapy centres."
—SCOPE, March 2013"This book … addresses the topic of brachytherapy
from many vantage points, oncological, physical, and biological,
and will satisfy readers from the entire radiotherapy
community."
—From the Foreword by Pierre Scalliet "Certainly, the frontier has
been pushed in several directions and Comprehensive Brachytherapy
covers some of these well… Overall, it is a very good compilation
of brachytherapy physics and the current state of the
practice…"
