The aim for this book is to be a single point of reference for all aspects of shielding design and radiation protection advice to the construction and modification of radiotherapy facilities. The book assembles a faculty of national and international experts on all modalities including megavoltage and kilovoltage photons, brachytherapy and high energy particles and on conventional and Monte Carlo shielding calculations. Their consensus and expertise is reflected through the list of chapters, but the editors have also ensured a consistent message throughout the text, by face-to-face discussion and thorough editing.
