“This book provides comprehensive, technically orientated information of surface guided radiation therapy, a rapidly emerging technology in radiotherapy. Authored by medical physicists, radiation therapists, and radiation vendors, this book covers all aspects of surface guided radiation therapy, with the intention of this new technology being implemented clinically in a safe and efficient manner. The book will likely be of greatest interest to residents of medical physics and radiation oncology as a textbook to gain general knowledge in the field, as well as to medical physicists as a reference book when implementing this new technology clinically. It may also be of interest to administration professionals who are considering expanding clinical practice and would like a general overview. This book is a timely addition to radiotherapy literature with a comprehensive collection of information and knowledge that has been gained in this emerging new field. While there are many research publications about surface guided radiotherapy already, this is the first book that encompasses technical information related to current SGRT systems on the market.”—Shuying Wan, PhD (Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center-Thomas Jefferson University) in Doody’s Core Titles Review 2022.
