The importance of the assessment of uncertainties is emphasized. Topics include: an overview of the physics of the interactions of radiation with matter; the definition of the goals and the design of radiation therapy approaches; proton therapy; living with uncertainty; biophysical models of radiation damage; computer-based optimization of treatments; and the reporting of results.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Goitein, Ph.D., is Professor of Radiation Therapy Emeritus (Radiation Biophysics) Harvard Medical School.  He is certified in Therapeutic Radiological Physics by the American Board of Radiology and in Medical Physics by the Swiss Society of Medical Physics and Biology.
