| Summary |
"This is the first book to cover emerging technologies and clinical evidence in the field of brachytherapy. The book is divided into 5 sections, with each section having multiple chapters to adequately cover all issues of interest: 1) Emerging Physics Technologies, 2) Emerging Imaging Technologies, 3) Emerging Clinical Evidences, 4) The Brachytherapy Suites of the Future, Today, and 5) Is Brachytherapy a Competitive Modality? The book is an outstanding resource for all medical physicists, medical doctors, residents and students who wish to keep abreast of emerging technologies in brachytherapy, and plan ahead so that new technologies can be adopted in-clinic as soon as they are released"-- Provided by publisher |
