Brachytherapy Physics

By: Bruce R. Thomadsen

During the years since the first edition of the AAPM Brachytherapy Physics book was published, both high dose rate and low dose rate brachytherapy has flourished. This modality - which at that time was used in limited forms for a few disease sites and rarely offered outside academic institutions - is now applied at most radiation oncology centers to a substantial number of patients for a multitude of disease sites and with a broad spectrum of approaches. Major changes include improved imaging and targeting accuracy and the revision of the dosimetric formalism of AAPM Task Group 43.
