Free Download Radiation Toxicity: A Practical Guide By William Small Jr. M.D., Gayle Woloschak Ph.D. (auth.), William Small Jr. MD, Gayle E. Woloschak PhD (eds.)
2006 | 187 Pages | ISBN: 1402080530 | PDF | 2 MB
The primary goals in assembling this book were to review basic pathophysiology of radiation toxicities and guide the clinician in prevention, management, and treatment. It is a concise and practical guide for oncologists handling patients being treated with radiation and other combined therapy. Each chapter covers a tumor site comprehensively with expert evidence-based opinions. Radiation Toxicity: A Practical Guide brings together renowned authors from leading cancer centers. Radiation, medical and surgical oncologists, nursing professionals, and members of radiation oncology teams will find this book an important reference. "Radiation therapy is an essential component of cancer treatment. This text servces as a resource for the management of organ specific toxicities.Experts in the field provide data on anticipated complications, discuss the biologic basis of radiation injury, and share advice on strategies to ameliorate side effects."Steven T. Rosen, M.D.Series Editor

Free Download Hypofractionated and Stereotactic Radiation Therapy: A Practical Guide
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031477006 | 593 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 124 MB
This new edition summarizes the data and techniques for hypofractionation and stereotactic radiation in a clinically-accessible way. Hypofractionated radiation therapy, which consists of larger-dose radiation treatments that are given over a shorter time period compared to conventional radiation fraction sizes, is used to treat a variety of cancers, including prostate, breast, lung, and colorectal. Conventional radiation therapy and hypofractionated radiation therapy often have different effectiveness rates for cancer treatment and have different impacts on normal tissues in terms of causing toxicity. There is a significant and continually evolving body of literature on the use of different dosing regimens to treat a variety of cancers, and radiation oncologists need to keep up with the various dosing schedules, the effect of each regimen on cancer control in different cancers, and how the different schedules affect each organ in terms of toxicity.

Free Download Emerging Radiation Detection: Technology and Applications
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031638964 | 248 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 79 MB
This book provides readers an overview of emerging trends in the radiation detection field. Detailed in many of the chapters are specific aspects of radiation detectors, including comprehensive reviews of the historical development, and current state of each topic. The authors particularly cover emerging detection materials and detectors. High-Z materials like CdTe, CZT and GaAs offer the best implementation possibility of direct conversion X-ray detectors and are covered in this book. The authors discuss material challenges, detector operation physics and technology, and readout integrated circuits required to detect signals processes by high-Z sensors. Authors also contrast these emerging technologies with more established ones based on scintillator materials.
