Design and Shielding of Radiotherapy Treatment Facilities provides readers with a single point of reference for all aspects of shielding design and radiation protection
advice to the construction and modification of radiotherapy facilities. The
book assembles a faculty of national and international experts on all
modalities including megavoltage and kilovoltage photons, brachytherapy and
high-energy particles, and on conventional and Monte Carlo shielding calculations.
Their consensus and expertise is reflected through the list of chapters, and
the editors have also ensured a consistent message throughout the text by
face-to-face discussion and thorough revisions of the original IPEM Report 75. This
book is a comprehensive reference for qualified experts and radiation-shielding
designers in radiation physics and also useful to administrators, planners,
architects, constructors and others involved in the design of radiotherapy
facilities.
