In this capacity, Dr. FitzGerald serves as the quality assurance director for multiple cooperative groups within the National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN). Protons have become incorporated into NCTN clinical trials, especially in the pediatric domain, and IROC writes all clinical trials within the NCTN for proton care and reviews all patient data in real-time to ensure targets treated with both protons and photons meet compliance standards established for each trial.

As technology in radiation oncology moves forward, there is a need for continued process improvement in dose calibration and calculation of dose to tumor and normal tissue targets in a comprehensive and uniform manner. This is especially true for intensity modulation therapy, small-field radiation therapy with stereotactic techniques, brachytherapy, and protons. In this book, we examine modern topics in the evolving field of radiation dosimetry and close with a chapter on how modern dosimetry techniques will be applied to each oncology disease site.
