SYMPOSIUM Why is fully automated image segmentation and deformable image registration not here yet? 14:30 - 15:45  | ROOM 113-114 In an era where adaptive radiotherapy and image guided treatments are key, performing fully automated segmentation and accurate deformable image registration are of utter importance. However, widespread application in daily clinical practice of these techniques is still hampered. In this symposium three experts will give an overview of the fundamental hurdles, possible solutions, latest developments in this field. From the theoretical perspective, the nature of inverse problems, such as segmentation and registration, and the ways used to validate results using imperfect gold standards (simulated images, phantom images, co-registered surrogates) will be discussed; which introduces the potential of machine learning to create more flexible models with fewer strong hypotheses. Next, a special focus will be given to the practical aspects: when are these techniques needed? what are the technical and accuracy requirements? what is needed to set up a clinical workflow? Finally, a review on where the technology is moving will be presented. Chair: G. Meijer (The Netherlands) Co-Chair: E.M.

SYMPOSIUM Brachytherapy - RTT advanced roles 14:30 - 15:45  | ROOM 111

In this session, Rogier Schokker, explores the importance of modern imaging an all steps of brachytherapy treatment, concerning MRI and US, where both image techniques are used for pre-planning and planning, in different pathologies, like prostate or uterus. Ana Luísa Soares, focuses her presentation on brachytherapy treatment planning, according to her department experience, in Paris and Manchester, based on ICRU
