• Radiation Oncology.

Conference Objectives are :
• Discuss imaging evaluation, target delineation and response evaluation for stereotactic radiotherapy for skull base tumors.
• Discuss imaging evaluation, target delineation and response evaluation for stereotactic body radiotherapy for spinal metastases.
• Demonstrate the role of various imaging modalities for detection and follow up of spinal and skull base metastasis.
• Demonstrate the role of imaging in pre-radiation planning with a focus on SBRT.
• Recognize the challenges of target and normal structure delineation in the skull base.
• Identify imaging modalities helpful to target and normal structure delineation.
• Review data on pseudoprogression after radiation therapy to skull base tumors.
• Identify the challenges of spine response determination.
• Discuss the issue of radiographic pseudoprogression.
• Explain clinical trials and incorporation of response criteria.
