<P>About ten years after the first edition comes this second edition of <B><I>Monte Carlo Techniques in Radiation Therapy: Introduction, Source Modelling, and Patient Dose Calculations</B></I>, thoroughly updated and extended with the latest topics, edited by Frank Verhaegen and Joao Seco. This book aims to provide a brief introduction to the history and basics of Monte Carlo simulation, but again has a strong focus on applications in radiotherapy. Since the first edition, Monte Carlo simulation has found many new applications, which are included in detail.</P><P>The applications sections in this book cover the following:</P><UL><P><LI>Modelling transport of photons, electrons, protons, and ions</LI><P></P><P><LI>Modelling radiation sources for external beam radiotherapy</LI><P></P><P><LI>Modelling radiation sources for brachytherapy</LI><P></P><P><LI>Design of radiation sources</LI><P></P><P><LI>Modelling dynamic beam delivery</LI><P></P><P><LI>Patient dose calculations in external be
