The book consists of 15 chapters, includes large number of figures and tables for easy understanding of the concepts. The book addresses fundamental physics, interaction of radiation with matter, radiation units, radiation dosimetry, radiation detection and measurements, radiation equipment, treatment planning, quality assurance, regulatory aspects, and radiation protection. Attempts have been made to incorporate imaging principle since its role is much important in 3D treatment planning. Clinical application with worked examples are included for easy understanding wherever it is needed. Every effort has been taken to provide latest technology which is currently in use for the benefit of students.
