“As we return to work, this course will certainly have an impact on our daily practice in one way or another.”

- Dr Genevieve van Ooteghem | St Luc Brussels, Belgium -

LECTURES ON: • Technical and biological basics of imaging methods and radiotherapy techniques involved • Related physics (segmentation, registration, handling of 4D data, dose painting) • Clinical application of PET and/or molecular MRI in staging and treatment

TEACHINGMETHODS • 15 hours of lectures

ROADMAP

• 9 hours of hands-on practical workshops • 5 hours of discussions on clinical cases.

IMAGING

RADIATION ONCOLOGIST, OTHER SPECIALIST

METHODS OF ASSESSMENT • Theoretical knowledge and the ability to communicate the impact of imaging on target definition will be evaluated during group discussions • Practical capabilities in target definition based onMI will be evaluated during the hands-onworkshops using direct feedback on contours generated by experts and by course participants • The course will be evaluated using standard ESTRO evaluation forms. KEYWORDS Molecular imaging, radiotherapy, PET, molecular MRI, treatment planning, dose painting, response assessment.

planning of: - lung cancer - head and neck cancer

- gastro-intestinal tumours - gynaecological tumours • Response assessment using molecular imaging during and after treatment. Hands-on workshops and group discussions on: • Diagnostic viewing • Multimodal image coregistration • Automatic image segmentation • GTV delineation • CTV concepts • Response assessment. PREREQUISITES Before commencing this course participants should have acquired: • Basic knowledge on radiation oncology • Some basic knowledge on anatomical (CT, MRI) imaging in radiation oncology. To participate in the hands-on delineation sessions you should bring a laptop that can run the online FALCON* teaching software (it is strongly suggested to confirm this functionality at home).
