Radiation therapy standards

The book introduces the reader to modern basic technologies that ensure high-quality preparation and implementation of radiation therapy not only for various malignant neoplasms, but also for patients with non-neoplastic pathologies. For each nosological form of the disease, methods of pre-radiation topometry, ways of determining and contouring irradiated volumes, optimal radiation technologies, quality control, and features of observation in the post-radiation period are presented. This edition is intended to become a desktop book for a radiation therapist, and will also be useful for medical physicists, oncologists, and all specialists interested in modern radiation therapy technologies.
