INTERDISCIPLINARY RADIOBIOLOGY CLINICAL BRACHYTHERAPY PHYSICS RTT YOUNG

TUESDAY 30 APRIL 2019

He will show how the model-based approach allows for a continuous improvement and validation of newly introduced radiation techniques and ultimately the most optimal outcome for patients. Last, Dr. Licitra will discuss the rationale for using immunotherapy in head and neck cancers, the latest results in the recurrent/metastatic setting and the development of prognostic/predictive biomarkers to guide patient selection.

SYMPOSIUM New detector developments 09:15 - 10:30 | Space 1-2

This session focuses on developments in detector technology. The new UK primary standard calorimeter for proton radiotherapy is discussed covering of why this is needed, how the device is built and validated, its operation and ultimately its implementation. The next talks gives an update on the present status of the two commercial scintillation detectors available and the third system in development for HDR brachytherapy. The third talk discusses the different methods of multichannel film dosimetry and associated uncertainties, and the final presentation covers high spatial and time resolution silicon detectors with application in motion adaptive radiotherapy and synchrotron microbeam radiotherapy.

Chair: J. Lye (Australia) Co-chair: E. Dabrowska-Szewczyk (Poland)
