ESTRO Guide 2018

“ Imaging for physicists is a course for a physicist who wants to see the wider perspective of imaging in clinical practice. It allowed me to refresh my knowledge about principles of MRI / PET / CT physics but it also made me aware of many possibilities and difficulties associated with these imagining techniques.”

- Sylwia Pysklak | Krakow, Poland -

TEACHINGMETHODS • 25 lectures (50 minutes each) • 6 hours of discussions including case assignment presentations. The course consists of didactic lectures, interactive sessions and case assignments. Participants will receive a list of case assignments for selection to be completed during the course and are requested to prepare the corresponding study material.
