Symposium ACHIEVING EXCELLENCE IN IMAGE GUIDED BRACHYTHERAPY 14:30 - 15:45 | ROOM 4 This session will give an overview of the basic concepts of 3D dose planning including imaging, radio- biology and underlying physics including planning algorithms. There will be a focus on the uncertain- ties in the pathway with particular attention to the training needs for both physicists and clinicians. Tools for training in 3D outlining will be demonstrated and the impact of different methods of teaching explored. The challenge of creating acceptable reference outlines will be considered together with the best metrics for assessing the impact of training on performance. Chair: P. Hoskin (UK) Co-chair: A. Vavassori (Italy)

Symposium IMAGINGMARKERS FOR RESPONSE PREDICTION AND ASSESSMENT 14:30 - 15:45 | ROOM 1 This symposium will start with a general introduction to the clinical need of biomarkers for response assessment with an emphasis on current images methods: strengths and limitations. Furthermore, the potential of hybrid imaging using new PET/MRI machines will be discussed. Followed by an upcoming image analysis technique based on standard CT and FDG-PET imaging: radiomics allowing a high throughput image analysis strategy for assessment and prediction of treatment outcome. Illustrated in the context of rectal cancer. Finally some examples will be given for imaging based treatment verifica- tion and tumour/normal tissue characterisation using MRI imaging in the setting of stereotactic and proton therapy. Chair: W. Van Elmpt (The Netherlands) Co-chair: A.G. Morganti (Italy) 14:30 > Imaging markers for response prediction: the clinical need Speaker: V. Goh (UK) 14:55 > Response prediction in rectal cancer using PET Radiomics Speaker: R. Leijenaar (The Netherlands) 15:20 > MRI imaging of irradiated liver tissue for in vivo verification in particle therapy Speaker: C. Richter (Germany)
