Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
This book explores the current difficulties and unsolved problems in the field of particle therapy and, after analysing them, discusses how (and if) innovative Monte Carlo approaches can be used to solve them.
Each book chapter is dedicated to a different sub-discipline, including multi-ion treatments, flash-radiotherapy, laser-accelerated beams, nanoparticles effects, binary reactions to enhance radiobiology, and space-related issues. This is the first book able to provide a comprehensive insight into this exciting field and the growing use of Monte Carlo in medical physics.
It will be of interest to graduate students in medicine and medical physics, in addition to researchers and clinical staff.
Key Features:
- Explores the exciting and interdisciplinary topic of Monte Carlo in particle therapy and medicine
- Addresses common challenges in the field
- Edited by an authority on the subject, with chapter contributions from specialists
“The book delves into the present challenges and issues encountered in ion therapy, exploring how Monte Carlo techniques can effectively tackle them. This volume addresses many issues including but not limited to particle dosimetry, calculation uncertainties, Linear Energy Transfer (LET), heavy ion specific quality assurance techniques, and relative biological effects…This book is an invaluable resource and reference for anyone interested in learning about the use and application of Monte Carlo techniques in particle therapy. While all chapters are relevant for Heavy Charge Particle therapy, some also apply to proton therapy. Certain topics, such as dosimetry, are well-established and serve as excellent reference material. However, other areas like FLASH and AI are currently undergoing intense research. Although these chapters may evolve rapidly, they provide valuable insights into cutting-edge developments in the field. While the book covers a wide range of topics, it reads more like a collection of individual subjects rather than a cohesive unit. Nonetheless, its comprehensive coverage and authoritative contributors ensure its significance as a comprehensive resource in the field.”
