It answers the questions that physicists might initially have when trying to implement a new program, a new procedure, etc. The book will be a great reference for medical physics residents and junior physicists, as well as for physicists who are about to implement a new procedure. Medical residents can use the book to gain insights into the physics aspects of treatments. The authors have managed to distill the most important, currently available information to create a truly practical book on radiation oncology physics. This will be a valuable book for the radiation oncology team.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e-Sotirios Stathakis, PhD (University of Texas Health Sciences Center at San Antonio) \u003cb\u003eDoody’s Score: 98 – 5 Stars\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for \u003cb\u003eradiation oncologists\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003emedical physicists\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb\u003eresidents \u003c\/b\u003ein both fields, \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePractical Radiation Oncology Physics\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e provides a concise and practical summary of the current practice standards in therapeutic medical physics.
