Springer Ultra High Field Magnetic Resonance Imaging by Pierre-Marie Robitaille
The foundation for understanding the function and dynamics of biological systems is not only knowledge of their structure, but the new methodologies and applications used to determine that structure. This volume in Biological Magnetic Resonance emphasizes the methods that involve Ultra High Field Magnetic Resonance Imaging. It will interest researchers working in the field of imaging. Basic Concepts in Treatment Planning: Modeling Therapeutic Ratios for Different Fractionation Schedules.- Malignant Tumors Following Irradiation.- Clinical Principles and Applications of Chemoirradiation.- Imaging in Radiation Therapy.- Physics of Treatment Planning in Radiation Oncology.- The Simul. Process in the Determination and Definition of the Treatment Volume and Treatment Planning.- Electron Beam Therapy.- Treatment Aids for External Beam Radiotherapy.- 3-D Planning and Conformal Therapy.- Intensity Modul. Radiation Therapy.- Stereotactic Radiosurgery and Radiotherapy.- Physics of Brachytherapy.- Radiobiological Clinical Applications of Low and High Dose Rate Brachytherapy.- Quality Assurance in Radiation Oncology. Practical Clinical Applications: CNS Tumors.- Head, Neck and Breast Cancer, Esophagus; Lung Cancer.- Cancers of the Colon, Rectum, Anus, Bladder.- Low-Dose Rate-Brachytherapy for Carc. of the Cervix.- Technical Aspects of Radiation Therapy for Endom.
