Spatially Fractionated, Microbeam and FLASH Radiation Therapy (PDF Book)

author of Hualin Zhang (Author)
This book is a comprehensive study of the physics of radiation that is heterogeneous in nature and is connected, through a multi-disciplinary approach, to practical applications in medicine and the biological significance of radiation that is heterogeneous. The fundamental principles of Spatially Fractionated Radiation Therapy (SFRT), the techniques and technologies involved, the dosimetric properties of SFRT, the planning methods, the documentation, the standardized reporting metrics, and the practical advice are all discussed. The current state and findings of clinical patient studies are discussed, these studies have the potential to enhance the management of large and complex tumors. Biological foundations that are potential are discussed that may contradict the current understanding of radiobiology regarding the response to radiation and the design of radiation therapies. This understanding is multi-faceted and critical as the field of radiation therapy for various purposes develops technologically and clinically.
