Symposium TOWARDS USER ORIENTED QA PROCEDURES FOR TREATMENT VERIFICATION 08:45 - 10:00 | ROOM 4 The session comprises presentations on treatment planning, imaging, and actual dose verification procedures. Treatment planning will cover acceptance testing, commissioning (general data, TG-43 and non-TG-43 dose calculation algorithms, applicators), periodic QA, TPS inter-comparison, and phantom based tests. Within the context of imaging, all modalities in use for clinical applications will be discussed (x-ray, CT, MRI, US, PET-CT). Dose verification will focus on real-time verification meth- ods including classic applications of in vivo dosimetry, real-time in vivo dosimeters, and applications of real-time in vivo dosimetry.

Symposium ROBUST AND ACCURATE FUNCTIONAL MRI FOR RADIOTHERAPY 08:45 - 10:00 | ROOM 1 This session will focus on different aspects in terms of image acquisition and technical requirements for the integration of Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (f-MRI) into radiotherapy (RT). F-MRI can be applied in RT for tissue classification, monitoring of treatment response and dose painting. The geometrical accuracy of the images is of crucial importance. In the second talk, different issues concerning data acquisition and analysis in dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI will be discussed. Accurate quantification of DCE-MRI parameters is difficult and requires the use of dedicated models. The third speaker will focus on diffusion weighted (DW) MRI including the importance of the choice of b-values, acquisition problems and geometric distortion in extracranial applications of DW-MRI as well as implications for RT. Chair: D. Thorwarth (Germany) Co-Chair: G. Loi (Italy) 08:45 > Needs and technical requirements for functional MRI in radiotherapy Speaker: U. Van der Heide (The Netherlands) 09:10 > Variation in DCE-MRI methodology and its implications for radiotherapy Speaker: A. Garpebring (Sweden)
