Description of
Particle Therapy Technology for Safe Treatment
The path from clinical requirements to technical implementation is filtered by the translation of the modality to the technology. An important part of that filter is that the modality be safe. For that to be the case it is imperative to understand what clinical parameters affect the safety of a treatment, and then determine how the technology can affect those parameters. This book provides a practical introduction to particle therapy. It provides a thorough introduction to the tools, their applications, and then details the components that are needed to implement it. It explains the foundations of beam production and beam delivery which serve to meet the necessary clinical requirements. It emphasizes the relationship between requirements and implementation including how safety and quality is considered and implemented in the solution. The reader will learn to better understand what parameters are important to achieve these goals Read more
