JOINT SYMPOSIUM ESTRO-AAPM: New technological and computational developments in particle therapy 08:45 - 10:00 | STRAUS 2-3

The session will focus on three aspects:

The role of ‘compact solutions’ in proton therapy. We’ll review what is available, see an example of how a centre did fit its department to the new needs, what it takes to ‘shrink’ these facilities further to fit in a conventional bunker and whether a fixed line may still be adequate. Concerning imaging, we’ll discuss the role of Cone beam CT(CBCT), i.e. design of different CBCT systems, their use for different treatment sites, its quantitative applications, the limitations of different methods for using CBCT for dose calculation, and the use of CBCT in an adaptive ion therapy. On treatment planning, we’ll outline the limitations of compensating systematic and random uncertainties by dose planning, argue whether probabilistic planning can achieve risk minimisation of geometric uncertainties via direct consideration in dose optimisation and finally we’ll bring up the issue of the uncertainties associated with estimating uncertainties.

SYMPOSIUM CT imaging, new developments 08:45 - 10:00 | LEHAR 1-3

Modern radiotherapy relies heavily on pre-treatment imaging, both to determine the target volumes, delineate organs at risk and to build an attenuation model of the patient to facilitate accurate dose calculations. Magnetic resonance and positron
