MR Linac Radiotherapy: A New Personalized Treatment Approach

MR Linac Radiotherapy: A New Personalized Treatment Approach comprises  both clinical and physical aspects of this new technology. The book  covers treatment planning, workflow and technical issues about MR-Linac.  Specially, the clinical use of MR-Linac according to different cancer  types is presented by experienced physicians. This is a unique guide for  medical physicists, RTTs, dosimetrists and physicians, as well as  radiation oncologists and their teams. The MR Linac combines two  technologies - a magnetic resonance imaging scanner and a linear  accelerator - to precisely locate tumors, tailor the shape of radiation  beams in real-time, and precisely deliver doses of radiation, even to  moving tumors.

This highly innovative technology is very new,  and the number of newly installed MR-Linac machines will gradually  increase worldwide. However, as there is no published book as a  guideline, this book will help new MR-Linac users and centers planning  to have MR-Linac.
