Teaching as well as learning always requires good textbooks. Good textbooks on medical physics have been written or edited by a series of authors and are now well available. With reference to medical physics in radiation oncology one could especially mention the two more recently published and well known textbooks: \"Radiation Oncology Physics: A Handbook for Teachers and Students\" edited by E. B. Podgoršak and issued by the International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna in 2005, and the \"Handbook for Radiotherapy Physics - Theory and Practice\" edited by P. Mayles, A. Nahum, and J. C. Rosenwald and published by Taylor & Francis in 2007. In both books the text material has been developed with the assistance of a large number of contributing specialist authors from multiple continents under the expert guidance of the editors.
This book is intended as a supplementary textbook for a radiation physics course in academic medical physics and biomedical engineering graduate programs as well as a reference book for candidates preparing for certification examinations in medical physics subspecialties. The book may also be of interest to graduate students in physics, chemistry, and various branches of engineering wishing to improve their knowledge and understanding of modern physics and its intimate relationship with radiation physics applied to medicine.
The book contains 129 specific sections grouped into 14 chapters. Each section contains one or more long questions that consist of several shorter questions related to the subject material of the specific section. The chapters and sections of this textbook follow the layout of the textbook: \"Radiation Physics for Medical Physicists\" published by Springer in 2010 and the 300 solved problems presented in this book are intended to provide supplementary information to the radiation physics textbook through examples relevant to the topics discussed in individual sections of the textbook.
A last remark: Having made the differentiation between gaining knowledge and gaining skills it is interesting to realize that this book \"can also stand on its own as a radiation physics textbook serving as a tool for learning radiation physics through perusing a series of solved radiation physics problems\". The following question is a nice example for that: \"Betatrons typically operated in the 25 MV x-ray mode. When 25 MV linacs were introduced into clinical service, the percentage depth doses they produced in water were significantly shallower than those produced by 25 MV betatrons. How was this surprising finding explained and rectified\"
In this literature compendium ZEISS presents various clinical articles on IORT for various oncological indications but also focusing on specific relevant aspects, such as: medical physics, radiobiology, technology aspects, quality of life, cosmesis, guidelines, recommendations or health technology assessments (HTA) in English and German. The aim is to provide further information and share knowledge.

Dr. Hugo received his PhD in biomedical physics from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2003. After obtaining his degree, he joined the staff of William Beaumont Hospital, where he participated in the clinical implementation of cone beam CT and was actively involved in developing an adaptive radiotherapy program for lung cancer. He joined the VCU Department of Radiation Oncology in 2008 as an assistant professor, where he also served as the Director of the Medical Physics Graduate Program. Dr. Hugo joined the faculty at Washington University School of Medicine in 2017. He has served as the Director of Medical Physics since 2020. His research interests include cardiac radioablation, image-guided adaptive radiotherapy particularly for lung cancer, image registration and analysis, and the use of machine learning in radiation oncology.
Michelle Nielsen is a radiation oncology physicist at Odette Cancer Center, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre for the last year and was at The Peel Regional Cancer Centre at Trillium Health Partners since it was built in 2004. She completed her MSc in Medical Physics at University of Toronto in 2002, and a medical physics residency at Sunnybrook in 2004. During her time at Peel Regional Cancer Centre, Michelle was involved in multiple capacities including Radiation Safety, Planning Leadership and Quality Management. Michelle is currently responsible for Radiation Program Quality.
My BC Cancer medical physics team has been engaged in developmental work on electron FLASH using decommissioned clinical linacs for the past 3 years. We are closely collaborating with radiobiologists within our organization (Minchinton Lab) and physicists at several sites across the Vancouver Lower Mainland including TRIUMF, and Surrey and Abbotsford BC Cancer centres.
Dr. Peters is a Scientist in the Imaging Research Laboratories at the Robarts Research Institute, London, ON, Canada, and is Professor Emeritus in the Departments of Medical Imaging and Medical Biophysics, and the School of Biomedical Engineering, at Western University. He obtained his PhD in Electrical Engineering at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch NZ, in the field image reconstruction for CT in 1973, and following some time as a Medical Physicist at the Christchurch Hospital, joined the Montreal Neurological Institute at McGill University as a research scientist in 1978. In 1997 he joined the Imaging Research Labs at the Robarts Research Institute at Western University in London Canada, where he expanded his research focus to encompass image-guided procedures in multiple organ systems.
