PracticalRadiobiology for Proton Therapy Planning covers theprinciples, advantages and potential pitfalls that occur in proton therapy,especially its radiobiological modelling applications. This book is intended toeducate, inform and to stimulate further research questions. Additionally, itwill help proton therapy centres when designing new treatments or whenunintended errors or delays occur. The clear descriptions of useful equationsfor high LET particle beam applications, worked examples of many importantclinical situations, and discussion of how proton therapy may be optimized areall important features of the text. This important book blends the relevantphysics, biology and medical aspects of this multidisciplinary subject.
