Pengkajian keselamatan dan keamanan untuk pengawasan di fasilitas radioterapi dilakukan untuk mendukung upaya penyusunan dan pengembangan peraturan, perizinan, dan inspeksi pada fasilitas radioterapi. Pengkajian dilakukan melalui dua cara yaitu pertama, melakukan telaah terhadap publikasi internasional tentang persyaratan desain fasilitas, dan penerapan sistem keamanan sumber radioaktif. Kedua,…
Written by Michael Stabin, a leading international authority in the field, this book is ideal for physicians and residents in nuclear medicine who want to improve their knowledge in internal dosimetry. This text is a practical introduction that guides the reader through fundamental concepts in the calculation of radiation dose, including discussions of standardized models, methods of calculatio…
This book is about nuclear medicine therapy. As we know, currently nuclear medicine continues to develop and is very useful for the world of health. The main discussion in this book consists of 10 chapters written by many contributors according to the experts in their field. One of the topics discussed is about iodine-131 radiotherapy, radioimmuntherapy of solid tumors and radioimmuntherapy of …
This book discusses the modeling of the side effects of radiotherapy in tumor treatment. A book that is applicable and practical. The main readers of this book are oncologists, radiation workers, medical physicists and also dosimetry experts. The topic of discussion is divided into 19 chapters including discussing building a predictive model of toxicity, rectal and bowel toxicity, urinary toxic…
There is a widespread variation in the practices with regard to the release of patients from hospital after unsealed radionuclide therapies. This publication aims to harmonize the different approaches, drawing on new advice issued by the International Commission on Radiological Protection and on a number of regional and national approaches. Particular attention is paid to the most frequent ques…
This publication is a resource for specialists in nuclear medicine and radiation oncology on the coupling of positron emission tomography and X ray computed tomography (PET/CT) to more accurately identify cancer cells within the body. Besides, although radiation therapy plays an important role in cancer treatment as an effective non-invasive therapy, damage to normal cells in the vicinity of tu…
Radiotherapy is one of the major treatment modalities for cancer, along with surgery and chemotherapy. It has been shown to be cost effective in many countries, including in low and middle income countries (LMICs) [1, 2]. Depending on the predominance of specific cancers in the geographic region in question, approximately 40–60% of all cancer patients can benefit from radiotherapy [3–6]. …
Modern medical imaging and radiation therapy technologies are so complex and computer driven that it is difficult for physicians and technologists to know exactly what is happening at the point-of-care. Medical physicists responsible for filling this gap in knowledge must stay abreast of the latest advances at the intersection of medical imaging and radiation therapy. This book provides medical…
This book was developed for the AAPM 2013 Summer School Proceedings in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Radiotherapy physics has had a very long history of performing quality assurance. Physicists working with the very earliest radiotherapy units developed before the beginning of the last century realised the need to verify the calibration and proper operation of their equipment. The International C…
