INTERDISCIPLINARY PRE-MEETING COURSE

Integration of multimodality imaging in radiation oncology to improve target definition and modified dose prescription FRIDAY 5 MAY 2017 08:45-17:00 | STRAUS 2-3 Course directors: U. van der Heide (NL) and D. Zips (DE) Learning objectives • To learn how modern imaging technology such as functional MRI and PET influences today’s radiotherapy • To better understand the concept how functional imaging can be used for better target definition and individual dose-prescriptions • To discuss with experts the current state-of-the-art in main disease sites including cancers of the prostate, lung, rectum, head and neck, brain and cervix • To understand limitations and potential pitfalls when using advanced imaging • To gain knowledge in how to implement advanced imaging in routine radiation oncology. Who should attend? Radiation oncologists, medical physicists, biologists and RTTs with interest in functional imaging for better radiation oncology. The course will provide ‘teaching level’ lectures with basics for attendees who want to refresh their knowledge in the field and, in addition it will provide ‘in-depth’ discussions with experts in specific indications.
