(Cesare Guida and Valerio Nardone, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Vol. 48, 2021) The audience is those in the field of radiation oncology, with a particular focus on physicists and clinicians. The book also will be of interest to residents in radiation oncology and in select cases to physicists in the broader field of radiology. ... In particular, radiation physicists, but also many clinicians seeking to integrate MRI into their clinic, will find this book of interest. (Mark D.

Hurwitz, Doody's Book Reviews, November 01, 2019) Author InformationProfessor Gary Liney is the senior medical physicist at the Ingham Institute for Applied Medical Research and Liverpool Cancer Therapy Centre, Sydney, Australia. He is providing the scientific lead into the MRI-simulator and MRI-Linac programs at Liverpool. Gary is a recognised expert in the use and integration of MRI techniques into radiotherapy planning, and published over 70 scientific papers and three textbooks. He has taught on the ESTRO imaging for physicists’ course since its inception in 2010. He is currently leading the investigations on the Australian phase 2 MRI-Linac system using a dedicated split bore open magnet to provide real-time MRI guided therapy. Professor Uulke van der Heide works as a medical physicist and group leader at the Netherlands Cancer Institute in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. He holds a chair as professor of imaging technology in radiotherapy at the Leiden University. He was the course director on the ESTRO imagingfor physicists’ course until 2017. His research group works on the improvement of target definition in radiotherapy by application of MRI and the development and validation of quantitative imaging methods for tumour characterization for radiotherapy dose painting. He further leads the MR-guided radiotherapy program at the Netherlands Cancer Institute. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
