Adaptive Radiation Therapy
describes technological and methodological advances in the field of ART, as well as initial clinical experiences using ART for selected anatomic sites. Divided into three sections (radiobiological basis, current technologies, and clinical applications), the book covers:
Morphological and biological biomarkers for patient-specific planning
Design and optimization of treatment plans
Delivery of IMRT and IGRT intervention methodologies of ART
Management of intrafraction variations, particularly with respiratory motion
Quality assurance needed to ensure the safe delivery of ART
ART applications in several common cancer types / anatomic sites
The technology and methodology for ART have advanced significantly in the last few years and accumulated clinical data have demonstrated the need for ART in clinical settings, assisted by the wide application of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT). This book shows the real potential for supplying every patient with individualized radiation therapy that is maximally accurate and precise.
