Perfect for radiation oncologists, medical physicists, and residents in both fields, Practical Radiation Oncology Physics provides a concise and practical summary of the current practice standards in therapeutic medical physics. A companion to the fourth edition of Clinical Radiation Oncology, by Drs. Leonard Gunderson and Joel Tepper, this indispensable guide helps you ensure a current, state-of-the art clinical practice.- Covers key topics such as relative and in-vivo dosimetry, imaging and clinical imaging, stereotactic body radiation therapy, and brachytherapy.- Describes technical aspects and patient-related aspects of current clinical practice.- Offers key practice guideline recommendations from professional societies throughout — including AAPM, ASTRO, ABS, ACR, IAEA, and others.- Includes therapeutic applications of x-rays, gamma rays, electron and charged particle beams, neutrons, and radiation from sealed radionuclide sources, plus the equipment associated with their production, use, measurement, and evaluation.- Features a "For the Physician" box in each chapter, which summarizes the key points with the most impact on the quality and safety of patient care.- Provides a user-friendly appendix with annotated compilations of all relevant recommendation documents.- Medicine eBook is accessible on a variety of devices.

As modern radiation therapy grows more complex and precision is even more critical, clinicians and physicists need a clear, accessible resource that translates current best practices into actionable guidance. Radiation Oncology Physics, 2nd Edition, offers concise, practice-focused information on the current technologies, processes, and safety principles that support safe and effective patient care across today’s radiation oncology departments. This fully revised edition provides streamlined coverage of fundamentals, external beam therapy, brachytherapy, imaging, and emerging modalities such as MR-guided and particle therapy-all of the important content you need in a clinically focused, best practice handbook.

Primer on Radiation Oncology Physics: Video Tutorials with Textbook and Problems, now in its second edition, provides over 60 tutorial videos (each 15–20 minutes in length) with a companion text and is the most complete and effective introduction to medical physics available. The textbook and videos are the result of decades of Dr. Ford’s teaching experience with a variety of learners from different backgrounds. They have rapidly become a must‑have resource in the field and are valuable for both early learners and those seeking a refresher.Key FeaturesA complete learning package for radiation oncology physics, including a full series of video tutorials and an associated textbook companion websiteClearly drawn, simple illustrations throughout the text and videos, including “whiteboard” screen technology to facilitate comprehensionAn embedded quiz feature in the video tutorials for testing comprehension while viewingInteractive online tools to reinforce conceptsExtensive problem sets in each chapter (with solutions)
