Practical Essentials of Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy, Third Edition Chao, Wang & Marinetti The development of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has ushered in a new age in tumor treatment—allowing oncologists to maximize coverage of abnormal cells while sparing healthy tissue. This practical resource’s aim is to enhance readers’ understanding of this cutting-edge technology, while providing essential information on clinical indications, image interpretation, target delineation, and plan optimization. Coverage of anatomy and anatomical imaging supports readers’ understanding of IMRT and its advantages. Practical applications address a range of tumor types and sites—including head and neck, urinary, and gynecologic cancers. Hundreds of high-quality, full-colour illustrations assist in clinical decision-making. Features: Clear, straightforward descriptions help understand the basic physics ▶ ▶ behind IMRT.

The appeal of Wintrobe has always been its ability to correlate basic science with the clinical practice of hematology. This coupled with the power of the Wintrobe name has helped to set it apart from the competition. The book is encyclopedic in its coverage of biology and pathophysiology as well as of clinical practice. It offers an exhaustive panorama of diagrams, figures, standard and electron micrographs, algorithms, schemas, and protocols—all in color. Readers of Wintrobe’s Clinical Hematology find a comprehensive, encyclopedic, accurate, and authoritative review of classic hematology that exquisitely intertwines basic molecular biology with the clinical diagnosis and treatment of disease.
