1. FALCON EduCase, the contouring platform

FALCON* EduCase is ESTRO’s web-based contouring programme, devoted to improving contouring skills of radiation oncology professionals. Variability in anatomical contouring is an important contributor to uncertainty in radiation oncology. This is why a few years ago ESTRO developed the contouring programme FALCON* based on the EduCase software, aiming to improving contouring skills and to compare individual contours with those made by delineation experts and with the ESTRO / international guidelines. The FALCON EduCase online contouring platform is integrated into the portfolio of educational ESTRO activities such as:

live courses

workshops at ESTROmeetings

online virtual workshops

delineationworkshops for other societies (IAEA, national societies or other societies active in the field of oncology)

support services for clinical trials and development of guidelines

*Fellowship in Anatomic deLineation and CONtouring
