Surface Guided Radiation Therapy Summary

Surface Guided Radiation Therapy by Todd Pawlicki, PhD

Surface Guided Radiation Therapy provides a comprehensive overview of optical surface image guidance systems for radiation therapy. It serves as an introductory teaching resource for students and trainees, and a valuable reference for medical physicists, physicians, radiation therapists, and administrators who wish to incorporate surface guided radiation therapy (SGRT) into their clinical practice. This is the first book dedicated to the principles and practice of SGRT, featuring:



  • Chapters authored by an internationally represented list of physicists, radiation oncologists and therapists, edited by pioneers and experts in SGRT


  • Covering the evolution of localization systems and their role in quality and safety, current SGRT systems, practical guides to commissioning and quality assurance, clinical applications by anatomic site, and emerging topics including skin mark-less setups.


  • Several dedicated chapters on SGRT for intracranial radiosurgery and breast, covering technical aspects, risk assessment and outcomes.

Surface Guided Radiation Therapy Reviews

This book titled Surface Guided Radiation Therapy provides a comprehensive overview of both clinical and technical aspects of surface imaging in modern radiation therapy. The book covers basic principles of modern digital surface imaging, implementations, and features of existing commercial surface imaging systems, quality assurance, and clinical use of surface imaging for a wide variety of treatment sites and applications. In discussing the purpose of the book, the authors recognized that surface guided radiation therapy (SGRT) has been in use in radiation oncology for more than 15 years and the body of literature on surface imaging has grown quite large. Their goal was to recruit internationally recognized experts on different aspects of surface imaging and have each author prepare a structured review on a particular topic in SGRT. I believe that the editors and authors of this book were successful at creating a valuable resource for those interested in surface imaging. The timing of the work is appropriate as well. Surface imaging has become common in clinical practice, and the technical and clinical practice of surface guided radiotherapy has matured to a point that the content in this book will remain relevant for many years.

The authors of the book's 26 chapters are well-known in the surface imaging community for their high quality publications, presentations, and clinical experience. The writing is not highly technical and doesn't assume the reader has a significant background in surface imaging for radiotherapy. As a result, the book will appeal to a wide variety of readers, both within and outside the medical physics community, including trainees... To the best of my knowledge, this is the only book that comprehensively covers the topic of surface guided radiotherapy... This book provides a more comprehensive background on surface imaging in radiotherapy, shares a wider range of perspectives and is willing to venture into clinical topics that are not covered at all in professional society guidelines. I highly recommend this book for any clinical department that uses surface imaging. It is a great resource for practitioners interested in improving their SGRT practice, and its structure and writing style make it an accessible resource for radiation therapists and physicians as well.
