Cet ouvrage, écrit par des physiciens médicaux et des médecins spécialistes expérimentés, a été coordonné par le Dr es Sciences Ginette MARINELLO, ex-Chef de l’Unité de Radiophysique et de Radioprotection du Patient du CHU Henri Mondor de Créteil (France) et le Pr Jianji PAN, Chef du Service de Radiothérapie de l’Institut du Cancer et Directeur du Centre d’Assurance de Qualité de la Province du Fujian (RP de Chine). Il a pour but de faire le point sur les différents systèmes d’imagerie associés aux accélérateurs modernes de radiothérapie : EPID, systèmes d’imagerie embarqués à 2 ou 3 dimensions utilisant des RX de basse ou haute énergie, systèmes d’imagerie fixés au sol et au plafond. et systèmes d’imagerie indépendants irradiants ou non irradiants (systèmes optiques d’imagerie surfacique et à ultra-sons). Outre une description des systèmes, le principe de formation et d’exploitation des images produites est expliqué et illustré par de nombreux exemples pratiques. Les contrôles de qualité à effectuer obligatoirement à leur réception, puis périodiquement, pour assurer une qualité d’image indispensable, sont détaillés ainsi que les matériels et méthodes à utiliser et les tolérances acceptables. Une partie importante de l’ouvrage est consacrée à la pratique clinique avec de nombreux exemples montrant les possibilités et l’intérêt de l’utilisation des appareils d’imagerie pour les irradiations standard (sein), la modulation d’intensité IMRT ou VMAT (ORL), les irradiations stéréotaxiques intracrâniennes ou extracrâniennes (métastases osseuses) ou pendant les différentes stratégies d’irradiation des tumeurs mobiles (poumon et foie), et la protonthérapie (tumeurs de la base du crâne et mélanomes oculaires). L’utilisation de l’EPID comme dosimètre de transit pour le contrôle in vivo et l’enregistrement des doses délivrées aux patients pendant l’irradiation fait l’objet de tout un chapitre contenant, entre autres, la description des méthodes de calcul sur lesquelles sont basés différents logiciels. Enfin, un dernier chapitre est dédié aux méthodes d’évaluation des doses délivrées spécifiquement par les différents types d’imagerie et aux problèmes qu’elles posent. De par son contenu, étayé par une importante liste de références bibliographiques et de nombreuses figures, cet ouvrage s’avère être un outil indispensable pour tous ceux qui pratiquent la radiothérapie et s’intéressent à la radioprotection des patients, qu’ils soient médecins, physiciens médicaux, dosimétristes, manipulateurs d’électroradiologie médicale ou personnel technique et paramédical., et bien sûr pour les étudiants.

This handbook provides a clinically relevant, succinct, and comprehensive overview of image-guided brachytherapy. Throughout the last decade, the utility of image guidance in brachytherapy has increased to enhance procedural development, treatment planning, and radiation delivery in an effort to optimize safety and clinical outcomes. Organized into two parts, the book discusses physics and radiobiology principles of brachytherapy as well as clinical applications of image-guided brachytherapy for various disease sites (central nervous system, eye, head and neck, breast, lung, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, gynecologic, sarcoma, and skin). It also describes the incorporation of imaging techniques such as CT, MRI, and ultrasound into brachytherapy procedures and planning. Featuring procedural and anesthesia care, extensive images, contouring examples, treatment planning techniques, and dosimetry for the comprehensive treatment for each disease site, Handbook of Image-Guided Brachytherapy is a valuable resource for practicing radiation oncologists, physicists, dosimetrists, residents, and medical students. .

This book, edited by leading experts in radiology, nuclear medicine, and radiation oncology, offers a wide-ranging, state of the art overview of the specifics and the benefits of a multidisciplinary approach to the use of imaging in image-guided radiation treatments for different tumor types. The entire spectrum of the most important cancers treated by radiation are covered, including CNS, head and neck, lung, breast, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and gynecological tumors. The opening sections of the book address background issues and a range of important technical aspects. Detailed information is then provided on the use of different imaging techniques for T staging and target volume delineation, response assessment, and follow-up in various parts of the body. The focus of the book ensures that it will be of interest for a multidisciplinary forum of readers comprising radiation oncologists, nuclear medicine physicians, radiologists and other medical professionals. .

Image-Guided Cancer Therapy: A Multidisciplinary Approach provides clinicians with in-depth coverage of the growing, dynamic field of interventional oncology.  Combining the knowledge of  expert editors and authors into one powerhouse reference, this book looks at  tumor ablation, HIFU, embolic therapies, emerging technologies, and radiation therapy throughout the body (liver, bone, breast, gynecologic  and prostate cancers, to name just a few) , and includes discussion of different imaging modalities.  In the words of Peter Mueller, MD, author of the book’s Foreword:   “… The senior authors are all world renowned experts in interventional oncology, which is another example of the high quality authorship and experience that is brought to this book.  The later chapters discuss therapies that are simply not covered in any other source.  Everyone who is doing or wants to do ablation therapies and interventional oncology will face a time when they will be asked to use their expertise in less used and less investigated areas.  There is nowhere else where the reader can get information on the prostate, breast, and gynecologic areas, and especially pediatrics….This book is an outstanding contribution to the literature and will become a ‘must read’ for all physicians who are interested in Interventional Oncology.”.
