Monte Carlo in Heavy Charged Particle Therapy : New Challenges in Ion Therapy Hardback
Edited by Pablo Cirrone, Giada Petringa
Part of the Series in Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering series
Hardback
Description
This book explores the current difficulties and unsolved problems in the field of particle therapy and, after analysing them, discusses how (and if) innovative Monte Carlo approaches can be used to solve them.
Each book chapter is dedicated to a different sub-discipline, including multi-ion treatments, flash-radiotherapy, laser-accelerated beams, nanoparticles effects, binary reactions to enhance radiobiology, and space-related issues.
This is the first book able to provide a comprehensive insight into this exciting field and the growing use of Monte Carlo in medical physics.
It will be of interest to graduate students in medicine and medical physics, in addition to researchers and clinical staff. Key Features:Explores the exciting and interdisciplinary topic of Monte Carlo in particle therapy and medicineAddresses common challenges in the fieldEdited by an authority on the subject, with chapter contributions from specialists
