Image guided radiotherapy in clinical practice 2017
In-Person Event
Oct 29 - Nov 02, 2017
Athens, Attica, GR
OVERVIEW
Image guided radiotherapy in clinical practice is organized by European Society for Radiotherapy Oncology (ESTRO) and would be held during Oct 29 - Nov 02, 2017 at Electra Palace Athens, Athens, Attica, Greece.
Target Audience
The course is aimed at all professionals in the field of radiation oncology that are involved in target localisation at any point in the treatment chain, this includes radiation oncologists, radiation physicists, and radiation therapists (RTTs).
Conference Objectives :
• To cover both theoretical and practical aspects related to the clinical implementation of in-room imaging and plan adaptation in radiotherapy
• To review imaging techniques that can be applied in the workflow of conformal radiotherapy and understand how individual links in the chain of events will influence clinical outcome (from treatment prescription to preparation and planning, to patient set-up and verification)
• Offer an overview of available technologies and how to integrate these in clinical practice
• Compare available strategies and help define applicability for particular use
• Present practical recommendations for establishing an efficient image-guided workflow through optimal integration of available technologies and to emphasise the importance of teamwork and training
• Present the components of a QA strategy of IGRT systems.
• Understand the principles of image guided and adaptive radiotherapy
• Be able to implement image guidance for major patient groups in their home clinic
• Understand the relevant choices for the selection of the best image guidance protocol for their home situation
