Summary:

Mundt (radiation oncology, U. of California San Diego) and Roeske (radiation oncology, Loyola U.) assemble 28 chapters by radiation oncologists, radiotherapists, and radiologists from North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia who explain to radiation oncologists, medical physicists, radiation therapists and administrators, and students and residents the basic concepts of image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), including its history and present status; the main imaging modalities used for target delineation (computed tomography, 4D computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography); major in-room treatment technologies, including video, ultrasound, planar, and volumetric-based imaging systems; overviews of electromagnetic tracking, quality assurance, and emerging systems; clinical applications and case studies; and selected topics such as economic aspects and adaptive IGRT.
