Since the early 1910s, the staff of Memorial Hospital in New York has been deeply involved in the development and application of radiation to treat cancer. This book chronicles the activities and contributions of the hospital s medical physics staff from 1910 2010. Memorial Hospital s medical physics pioneers included the likes of Gioacchino Failla and Edith Quimby, while the modern eras were led by John Laughlin and Clifton Ling.

Product Description 
The target audiences for this book are practicing radiologists, medical physicists, and technologists. The topics covered reflect the day-to-day needs of supporting a CT scanner from the perspective of a CT protocol optimization team. A realization of Medical Physics 3.0 must involve an appreciation of the administrative, clinical, and technical sides of CT imaging. Since the author treats all of these facets in the book, it embodies the mission of Medical Physics 3.0 for CT. The text doesn t shy away from comparing features from different vendors. Providing vendor-specific information allows one to gain real-world insight into MDCT scanner reconstruction and AEC operation. Special Features Include: Over 300 example artifact images. Multiple chapters with guidance on setting up protocols. 
 About the Author 
Timothy Szczykutowicz, Ph.D., DABR, received his B.S. in physics from the SUNY University at Buffalo in 2008. He went on to complete his Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin working with Chuck Mistretta, widely known as the inventor of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and Guang-Hong Chen, a pioneer in CT image reconstruction. He is currently an associate professor in the department of Radiology at the University of Wisconsin Madison with affiliate appointments in Biomedical Engineering and Medical Physics. The clinical and research activities of Dr. Szczykutowicz include optimizing CT protocols, monitoring patient dose, developing new metrics to define image quality in the clinical setting, developing protocol management methodologies, fluence field modulated CT, dual-energy CT, and assisting in various projects related to cone-beam CT.

The CT Handbook: Optimizing Protocols for Today's Feature-Rich Scanners

Szczykutowicz, Timothy P.

This book is the outgrowth of a course taught to residents in radiation oncology at Wayne State University, at the suggestion of residents who saw a need for a technically accurate text set at the correct mathematical level. It is intended to be a book to learn from, not a comprehensive compendium. It is written for members of the radiation therapy community such as radiation therapy technologists, dosimetrists, and radiation oncologists who may have taken college physics several years previously but still need to know the basic physics of radiation therapy. For graduate students in medical physics, it will serve as a review of the basics. The material is written to be relevant to clinical practice, without covering specifics in treatment planning, and also with a close eye on board certification requirements.

The Physics & Technology of Radiation Therapy

Patrick McDermott and Colin Orton

This book is intended for medical physicists and radiation oncologists who are implementing new radiotherapy technology. It includes specifications, performance expectations, quality-assurance testing, works-in-progress/futures and general philosophies and is designed to enable readers to begin the implementation of these technologies at their facilities.

The evidence is growing that the improvements in imaging, along with increasingly conformal radiation treatments, are providing significant benefits for patient outcome, both in terms of tumor control and reduced normal tissue complications. The challenge is for medical physicists and radiation oncologists to stay in tune with these rapidly changing advances that provide a better quality of life for patients. The goal of The Modern Technology of Radiation Oncology is to provide state-of-the-art, updated information on making these technologies available in the clinic. The Modern Technology of Radiation Oncology series has become a reference around the world for practicing medical physicists and especially for the medical physicists who are sitting their certification exams.

Looking for a book that will deepen your knowledge about the particle interaction physics hidden inside radiation dosimetry protocols like TG-51 or its predecessor, TG-21? Unlike a cumbersome textbook with more overhead than insight, this nimble text distills actual lectures from a leading medical physics graduate program. In fact, the University of Wisconsin course this book is based on was previously taught by Frank Herbert Attix and Thomas Rockwell Mackie, legends whose insights are still found in these pages, refined and added to by the authors. After reading and studying this book, you will feel that even routine clinical tasks will remind you of the deep historical physics breakthroughs of generations of physicists who got us where we are today.
