Led by a new team of highly esteemed authors, building on Dr Hendee’s tradition, \u003ci\u003eHendee’s Radiation Therapy Physics \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a succinctly written, fully modernised update.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRadiation physics has undergone many changes in the past ten years: intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has become a routine method of radiation treatment delivery, digital imaging has replaced film-screen imaging for localization and verification, image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) is frequently used, in many centers proton therapy has become a viable mode of radiation therapy, new approaches have been introduced to radiation therapy quality assurance and safety that focus more on process analysis rather than specific performance testing, and the explosion in patient-and machine-related data has necessitated an increased awareness of the role of informatics in radiation therapy. As such, this edition reflects the huge advances made over the last ten years.
