A comprehensive textbook of radiotherapy and related radiation physics and oncology for use by all those concerned with the uses of radiation and cytotoxic drugs in the treatment of patients with malignant disease. Walter & Miller's Textbook of Radiotherapy has become the core text for therapeutic radiography students and an important introductory text for trainee radiologists and clinical physicists. The book is divided into two parts: the first covers underlying principles of physics, and the second is a systematic review by tumour site concentrating on the role of radiotherapy in the treatment of malignant disease and setting its use in context with chemotherapy and surgery. The 7th edition continues the tradition of bringing the physics and clinical application of radiation for therapy together at entry level and is completely revised to take into account the huge technological advances in radiotherapy treatment since publication of the previous edition. *Imaging is now an essential part of radiotherapy, relevant for both the treatment and preparation of a patient's treatment. Radionuclide imaging and X-ray imaging have been expanded to MRI and PET, along with some use of ultrasound. *Treatment planning dose prediction - the basis and application of modern computational calculations are explained for modern treatment delivery systems. The role of the algorithm for dose prediction is central to ensure speedy and accurate calculations for treatment. *Quality Control *Quality Systems The book is supported by Evolve electronic resources: sample plans, additional diagnostic images and clinical photographs.

Seventy-five years since it was first published, Walter and Miller's Textbook of Radiotherapy has become the go-to resource for therapeutic radiography and radiotherapy students from around the world. Fully revised to include new clinical evidence and techniques, this ninth edition provides a comprehensive guide to the professional, technical, practical, and medical aspects of modern clinical radiotherapy practice. The first part of the book clearly and simply explains the fundamentals of radiotherapy physics, offering a sound foundation for clinicians new to the field. The design and use of a wide range of equipment is described, along with clear explanation of the underlying physical principles. The second part provides a systematic review of evidence-based clinical practice in an easy to navigate approach for each of the main tumour sites and categories. A wide range of expert authors from clinical practice have contributed to ensure the text has wide international appeal. With additional information on the emerging roles of chemotherapy, surgery and non-radiotherapy treatments as well as a grounding in the principles of cancer treatment and care, Walter and Miller will be a trusted resource for all those working in the rapidly changing field of oncology. This keystone textbook has been extensively revised and updated by a multidisciplinary expert editorial team to ensure that this ninth edition will remain an indispensable textbook for radiation oncology, medical physics and therapeutic radiography students and trainees or anyone requiring up to date information about radiotherapy practice.Notably, this new 75th anniversary edition features new and expanded information on: - Novel particle and MR-linac therapies - Radio-biology - 4DCT imaging and Transit Dosimetry - Clinical use of Image Guided Radiotherapy and decision-making - Reirradiation in cancer care - Immunotherapy - Person-centred care
