| radiation therapy boards review questions: Principles of Nuclear Medicine Majid Assadi, Hojjat Ahmadzadehfar, Hans-Jürgen Biersack, 2018-10-13 This book is the ideal study tool for all who are preparing for national or international nuclear medicine exams and in addition represents a truly outstanding quick review resource. More than 4200 questions, with comprehensive answers, are presented in order to enable readers to assess their knowledge and identify areas of weakness that require further self-study. Informative subchapters permit exploration of specific topics in greater depth, and practice tests will familiarize readers with the process of taking multiple-choice examinations. The book covers the entire spectrum of nuclear medicine, from basic science to clinical applications for diagnosis and treatment. Individual sections focus on oncology, bone and joint disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, acute care, cardiology, neurology and psychiatry, and renal disease. Principles of Nuclear Medicine is highly recommended for those who are taking nuclear medicine or radiology board examinations or recertifying their subspecialty certificate (CAQ) in nuclear medicine. More generally, it will be an asset for all trainees and practitioners of nuclear medicine and radiology. |
| radiation therapy boards review questions: Tumor Board Review Francis P. Worden, MD, Martha Pritchett Mims, MD, PhD, Helen K. Chew, MD, 2022-08-10 Now in its 3rd edition, Tumor Board Review: Evidence-Based Case Reviews and Questions is the most comprehensive clinical case review book in the field. With hands-on input from current fellows and oncologists, this new edition has been enhanced and reformatted for greater efficiency and practicality. The review covers all disease-site areas in oncology and features a wide variety of board-style questions pivotal in helping fellows and oncologists prepare for both the ABIM medical oncology board exam and maintenance of certification (MOC) assessments. Evidence-based discussions of difficult patient cases offer an in-depth and accurate depiction of what is discussed at tumor boards and foster critical thinking essential for clinical practice. Patient cases also highlight impactful treatment decisions that include newly approved immunotherapies and targeted therapies. Each chapter contains digestible essentials for each case, including a summary of diagnosis, molecular and genomic testing, treatment options, toxicity considerations, follow-up, and survivorship. Each chapter ends with high-yield multiple-choice questions including answers and detailed rationales ensuring readers are well-equipped with the knowledge they need to make well-informed, individualized treatment decisions. Tumor Board Review: Evidence-Based Case Review and Questions is an essential case-based reference for anyone working in oncology. Key Features: Describes more than 120 patient cases, including locally advanced and metastatic cases for each major disease site Contains 300 board-style questions and answers related to case reviews Includes new advances in diagnosis and therapy, with a greater emphasis on immunotherapies, cancer genomics, and precision-based targeted therapies Provides essentials for toxicity considerations, follow-up, and survivorship considerations |
| radiation therapy boards review questions: Adaptive Radiation Therapy X. Allen Li, 2011-01-27 Modern medical imaging and radiation therapy technologies are so complex and computer driven that it is difficult for physicians and technologists to know exactly what is happening at the point-of-care. Medical physicists responsible for filling this gap in knowledge must stay abreast of the latest advances at the intersection of medical imaging an |
| radiation therapy boards review questions: Khan's The Physics of Radiation Therapy Faiz M. Khan, John P. Gibbons (Jr.), 2014 This classic full-color text helps the entire radiation therapy team--radiation oncologists, medical physicists, dosimetrists, and radiation therapistsdevelop a thorough understanding of 3D conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), high dose-rate remote afterloaders (HDR), intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT), and proton beam therapy, as well as the physical concepts underlying treatment planning, treatment delivery, and dosimetry. |
