SYMPOSIUM Quantitative Imaging for Radiation Oncology 08:45 - 10:00 | Space 1-2

In this session the possibilities and challenges associated with quantitative imaging for radiation oncology will be pre-sented. Potential clinical applications and efforts to standardize imaging parameters, test of repeatability/reproducibility across vendors and sites, as well as quality assurance will be discussed. In short, how far away is clinical implementa- tion of quantitative imaging in radiation oncology, and what are the challenges we face toward this goal?

Lubberink (Sweden) SYMPOSIUM Advanced methods to account for proton range uncertainties in treatment planning 08:45 - 10:00 | Space 3-4 In proton radiotherapy highly-modulated dose distributions tailored to the individual patient can eradicate the disease while sparing the majority of surrounding tissue. Unfortunately, the accuracy of proton radiotherapy deliveries is com-promised by uncertainties, most prominently the range uncertainty. In this symposium the sources of range uncertain-ties and their clinical impact will be briefly discussed. Next, advanced imaging options ranging from dual or multi-energy CT to proton radiograph/CT, that improve the estimation of stopping powers and thus reduce proton range uncertainty, will be highlighted. Finally, current research in the areas of robust plan optimisation and adaptive proton therapy will be disseminated.
