Hendee's Radiation Therapy Physics, 4th Edition, is a textbook presenting the physical principles and clinical methods of radiation oncology.
Core subject areas span atomic structure, radioactive decay, and particulate radiation interactions alongside radiation measurement, radiation-producing machines, and megavoltage beam calibration. The text examines central-axis and external beam dose calculations, treatment planning delivery, and diagnostic imaging applications. It also addresses proton radiation therapy, brachytherapy techniques, radiation oncology informatics, and radiation protection.
Intended for radiation oncologists in training, medical physics students, and medical dosimetry trainees, the volume incorporates self-testing problem sets with an appendix of answers to support study and practice.
