An overview of conformal therapy techniques which develops the 3-D techniques in radiation therapy. Since the subject area of conformal therapy continues to advance rapidly, this text includes information on 3D treatment planning, optimization, photon multileaf collimation and proton therapy. As well as introducing such areas as transit dosimetry, the work also details intensity-modulated therapy techniques and biological modelling. The physics underlying the techniques is clearly set out.

The text is a useful introduction and review of a number of developing areas in conformal radiotherapy, providing valuable explanations of the theories behind the state of the art equipment now available. It is useful background reading for all radiotherapy physicists undertaking research in conformal radiotherapy and also clinical oncologists and physicists responsible for purchasing new equipment and implementing new technical advances -- Clinical Oncology, G Lawrence, Newcastle General Hospital, Vol.10, No. 6198, 1999
