Sue Mizer, R.T.T., Director of Technical Services Rhonda Rodgers Scheller, R.T.T., Senior Dosimetrist James A. Deye, Ph.D., Radiation Physicist Department of Radiation Oncology, Fairfax Hospital, Falls Church, VA
Designed as a teaching and reference text to aid radiation oncologists, radiation therapy technologists, residents, and students, the Radiation Therapy Shnuktion Wbrkbook provides a concrete set of guidelines for use of the simulator. The workbook outlines in a step-by-step format simulation procedures for all major areas and also offers additional information on dosimetry pertinent to each procedure.
Topics Appearing For Each Procedure
Clinical setting: sets the tone of the procedure, determined by the disease and its anatomical site. Technique: outlines diagnostic studies and describes position of the patient for the procedure. Procedure: outlines basic steps for simulation. Dosimetry: elaborates on the dosimetry information collected during simulation procedures.
Convenient Workbook Format Offers:
• Patient Measurement Worksheets and Set-up Diagram Sheets for each anatomical s i t e convenient for copying and filling in. • Loose Leaf Binder—for easy removal and re-insertion of pages, allowing each institution to make individual specifications to suit its institutional setting.
