The advances are due to continuous\ndevelopment of radiological         techniques and the introduction\nof magnetic resonance imaging.\nWith the improved and new methods three-dimensional target\nvolumes for radiation     therapy can be defined with hitherto\nunknown precision. This leads to an    improvement in\nirradiation techniques and, as a consequence, to a           higher\nlikelihood of tumor control and a lower risk of normal\ntissue    complications.\nBesides the improvement in irradiation techniques the        new\nimaging methods may enable great strides in tumor                       response\nmonitoring, not only in the detection of                           morphological\nalterations but also by showing physiological changes in      the\ntumor during and after treatment by means of MRI and PET.\nThis not  only leads to better prognostic information but may\nalso allow early        evaluation of the response to treatment.\nIt may then be possible to         individualize the radiation dose\nbut also the alternative-treatment for     non-responders.\nThis is certainly a future direction for radiation oncology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1992-09-25\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783540547839\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-642-48681-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 813\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312604369036,"sku":"9783540547839","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783540547839.jpg?v=1771527494","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783540547839","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
