商品描述
3D Printing in Radiation Oncology: Personalization of Patient Treatment Through Digital Fabrication presents a comprehensive and practical view of the many forms in which 3D printing is being integrated into radiation oncology practice. Radiation oncology employs among the most sophisticated digital technologies in medicine. Until recently, however, the "last mile" of treatment has required manually produced or generic devices for patient set up, positioning, control of surface dose, and delivery of brachytherapy treatment. 3D printing is already offering enhancements in both precision and efficiency through the digital design and fabrication of patient photon and electron bolus, customized surface and gynecological brachytherapy applicators, proton beam compensators and range shifters, patient immobilization, novel radiation detectors, and phantoms. Various innovations are disrupting decades-old practices in radiation therapy (RT) facilities, resulting in vital improvements in personalization of treatment and patient experience.
An essential read for radiation oncologists, medical physicists, radiation therapists, oncology nurses, hospital administrators, engineers, and medical educators, this book is an indispensable resource for those bringing 3D printing to the RT clinic, looking to expand the role of 3D printing in their practice, or embarking upon related research and development.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
《放射腫瘤學中的3D列印：透過數位製造個性化病人治療》提供了3D列印如何融入放射腫瘤學實務的多種形式的全面且實用的觀點。放射腫瘤學使用了醫學中最先進的數位技術之一。然而，直到最近，治療的「最後一公里」仍需依賴手動製作或通用設備來進行病人設置、定位、表面劑量控制及近距離放射治療的施行。3D列印已經透過病人光子和電子增強劑、客製化的表面及婦科近距離放射治療應用器、質子束補償器和範圍轉換器、病人固定裝置、新型放射檢測器及模擬體的數位設計和製造，提供了精度和效率的提升。各種創新正在顛覆放射治療（RT）設施中數十年的慣例，導致治療個性化和病人體驗的重大改善。
這本書是放射腫瘤醫師、醫學物理學家、放射治療師、腫瘤護理人員、醫院管理者、工程師和醫學教育者的必讀之作，是那些將3D列印引入RT診所、希望擴大3D列印在其實務中角色或從事相關研究與開發的人的不可或缺的資源。
作者簡介
James L. Robar, PhD, FCCPM is a globally recognized medical physicist, the Chief of Medical Physics at Nova Scotia Health, a professor of radiation oncology at Dalhousie University and a specialist in the high technology of radiotherapy-- a treatment technique used for roughly half of all patients with cancer. He is also co-founder and CSO at Adaptiiv Medical Technologies, a medical-tech firm in Halifax, with the mission of improving the accuracy of cancer treatment. As a scientist, inventor, and entrepreneur, Dr. Robar has pioneered multiple advancements improving imaging and treatment delivery for radiotherapy. These technologies include enhanced imaging to improve the accuracy of targeting tumors with radiation, hardware and software detecting submillimeter motion of patients to improve the precision of treatment, planning algorithms to provide improved sparing of healthy tissues and organs, and turnkey solutions allowing intelligent design of 3D printed, patient-specific accessories used during radiotherapy. For his contributions in this field, he became a Canadian Governor General's Innovation Laureate in 2021.
