This new edition, which like its predecessor is based on sound anatomical and pathological principles, has been expanded to give a broader account of internationally applicable techniques, and updated to include the latest developments in radiotherapy including brachytherapy. As with the first edition, each chapter of the book is dedicated to a specific tumour site with descriptions of assessment, planning and treatment procedures.

The first two editions of this popular text have established it as the number one choice for the trainee radiographer and radiation oncologist, providing the core basics of planning in a practical and accessible manner. This third edition has been thoroughly revised and updated throughout, yet maintains the authors' original straightforward approach. With three new chapters to cover recent developments in the field, the introduction of further reading and the inclusion of a colour plate section to illustrate 3-D imaging, 'Practical Radiotherapy Planning' remains both an essential training aid and invaluable ready reference for the radiotherapist in practice.

Ash, Dan

Planning is a critical stage of radiotherapy. Careful consideration of the complex variables involved and critical assessment of the techniques available are fundamental to good and effective practice. First published in 1985, Practical Radiotherapy Planning has, over three editions, established itself as the popular choice for the trainee raditation oncologist and radiographer, providing the 'nuts and bolts' of planning in a practical and accessible manner. This fourth edition encompasses a wealth of new material, reflecting the radical change in the practice of radiotherapy in recent years. The information contained within the introductory chapters has been expanded and brought up to date, and a new chapter on patient management has been added. CT stimulators, MLC shieldings and dose profiles, principles of IMRT, and use of MRI, PET and ultrasound are all included, amongst other new developments in this field. The aim of the book remains unchanged. Complexity of treatment planning has increased greatly, but the fourth edition continues to emphasise underlying principles of treatment that can be applied for conventional, conformal and novel treatments, taking into account advances in imaging and treatment delivery.
