[tab] [content title="Summary"] **Walter & Miller's Textbook of Radiotherapy** is a comprehensive resource on radiotherapy, radiation physics, and oncology, designed for all professionals involved in the treatment of malignant diseases using radiation and cytotoxic drugs. This textbook has established itself as the essential reference for therapeutic radiography students and serves as a vital introductory guide for trainee radiologists and clinical physicists. The book is organized into two main sections: the first focuses on the fundamental principles of physics, while the second provides a systematic review based on tumor sites, emphasizing the role of radiotherapy in treating cancer and contextualizing it with chemotherapy and surgery. The 7th edition maintains the tradition of integrating physics and clinical applications of radiation therapy at an entry-level and has been thoroughly updated to reflect the significant technological advancements in radiotherapy since the last edition. **Key Features:** - **Imaging**: Imaging is now a crucial component of radiotherapy, essential for both treatment and preparation. The book covers advancements from radionuclide and X-ray imaging to MRI, PET, and some use of ultrasound. - **Treatment Planning and Dose Prediction**: The foundations and applications of modern computational calculations for treatment planning are detailed, highlighting the critical role of algorithms in ensuring fast and accurate dose predictions for treatment delivery. - **Quality Control and Quality Systems**: Comprehensive discussions on maintaining quality in radiotherapy practices. The textbook is further enhanced by Evolve electronic resources, which include sample plans, additional diagnostic images, and clinical photographs, making it an invaluable tool for both learning and practical application.
