摘要

Radiotherapy was made possible by the startling physics discoveries of X-rays and radioactivity in the 1890s, which were almost immediately applied to treat clinical problems. Radiotherapy development was subsequently driven by the three engines of physics innovation, increasing understanding of radiobiology and systematisation and refinement of clinical approaches. Collaboration between clinicians and physicists has always been vital to this. Application of knowledge from other physics fields provided new treatment modalities allowing higher energies and better dose distributions. Dosimetry measurement and treatment planning methods established and extended the quantitative basis of radiotherapy. Imaging for planning and verification evolved in sophistication as physics methods and available technology were developed. The computer revolution galvanised all areas of radiotherapy and provided the possibility of new approaches to improving the balance of coverage of target versus normal tissues, with computer aided optimisation and control of planning, delivery and verification. One of the most significant developments in radiotherapy was undoubtedly the introduction of CT-based treatment planning, which spurred developments in planning algorithms, as well as in delivery. More precise dose distributions are of limited value unless the localisation of the target and volume to treat is well known and unless treatment dose delivery can be closely checked. Therefore CT planning was a prerequisite for both 3DCRT and IMRT.
