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.

Short description:
The Physics of Conformal Radiotherapy: Advances in Technology provides a thorough overview of conformal radiotherapy and biological modeling, focusing on the underlying physics and methodology of three-dimensional techniques in radiation therapy. This carefully written, authoritative account evaluates three-dimensional treatment planning, optimization, photon multileaf collimation, proton therapy, transit dosimetry, intensity-modulation techniques, and biological modeling. It is an invaluable teaching guide and reference for all medical physicists and radiation oncologists/therapists that use conformal radiotherapy.

"? excellent discussion on medical imaging and computerized treatment optimization ? good overview of developments in biological models and processes ? good perspective on the role of proton therapy and source of the facilities ? excellent background, guidelines, and extensive critical evaluations on the practicality of every item covered ? an excellent update on advances in technology related to conformal radiotherapy. I would highly recommend it to medical physicists, radiation oncologists, and manufacturers interested in the cutting-edge technological developments in the field of radiation oncology."
-Medical Physics, 1997
"For any centre considering 3-D CRT ? this book is a useful source of information."
-RAD Review
"?authoritative ? [the book] describes the physics and methodology of conformal radiotherapy ? useful to both experienced and novice medical physicists and radiotherapists."
-ASLIB Book Guide
"?a useful introduction and review of a number of developing areas in conformal radiotherapy, providing valuable explanations of the theories behind the state of the art equipment."
-Clinical Oncology
