CT ANATOMY FOR RADIOTHERAPY 2ND EDITION. This item is unavailable.CT ANATOMY FOR RADIOTHERAPY 2ND EDITION

Since it was originally published in 2010, CT Anatomy for Radiotherapy has been an invaluable aid to a wide variety of radiotherapy professionals, both qualified and in training. This second edition has many welcome additions and updates, while retaining its original user-friendly format. All essential structures relevant to radiotherapy are described and depicted on 3D images generated from radiotherapy planning systems. System-based labelled CT images, taken in relevant imaging planes and patient positions, build up understanding of relational anatomy and CT interpretation; and all images are accompanied by comprehensive commentary. This simplified approach enables the reader to gain image interpretation skills quickly and easily. The second edition of CT Anatomy for Radiotherapy supports radiotherapy staff as they play a more active part in structure outlining and increasingly routine cone-beam CT verification. The text has been updated throughout, to reflect recent changes in technology and practice, and the reader is further supported with additional self-test questions and more interesting pathology examples. There is new information on safety in CT, use of contrast and minimising the impact of artefacts; and the dedicated lymph node sections have been refreshed, with detailed delineation of common nodal regions. New dedicated Structure Focus sections concentrate on anatomical structures that are challenging yet clinically relevant for trial protocols or included in updated guidelines, including the penile bulb, coronary arteries, brachial plexus and complex supra-sellar regions. The unique combination of the authors knowledge of both current and emerging radiotherapy requirements and CT image interpretation has again produced an accessible and highly relevant text that provides sufficient detail to satisfy the most inquisitive of students and support radiotherapy practice for a wide range of professionals.

Pete Bridge BSc MSc SFHEA Pete is a radiotherapy lecturer at the University of Liverpool, where he teaches research skills, radiotherapy planning, radiation physics, 3D simulation and CT anatomy. He has previously coordinated radiotherapy courses at undergraduate and postgraduate level in Brisbane and She eld respectively. Along with David, Pete pioneered CPD short courses on CT Anatomy, structure outlining and MR Anatomy for Radiotherapy. Pete has worked clinically as a therapy radiographer in Manchester, Auckland, Dundee and Derby. He is particularly interested in structure outlining for radiotherapy planning and has strong research interests in 3D volumetric segmentation and the expanding role of MR in radiotherapy. David J. Tipper DCR(R) PgCert (MRI) PgCert (CT) David is the Cross-Sectional Imaging Manager for Derby Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. He has worked clinically as a diagnostic radiographer for 25 years and now has what he describes as his dream job. He chose to specialise in cross-sectional imaging early on in his career, and has worked clinically in CT and MRI for nearly 15 years in several regional centres. David has an almost obsessive interest in cross-sectional anatomy and also lectures regularly on the subject.
