Radiotherapy in Practice - Brachytherapy (2 ed.)

Edited by Peter Hoskin and Catherine Coyle

Abstract

This resource provides practical guidance on the use of brachytherapy. Each chapter gives the reader a solid background in the physics and dosimetry of the technique, followed by practical information on its use in common disease sites. Whilst low, medium, and high dose rate techniques are covered, emphasis is placed on high dose rate afterloading techniques which are likely to replace most other forms of brachytherapy in the future.
