BII Symposium: Radiation Planning Therapy
21 Oct 2011
On Wednesday 16 November (1pm) in Room 2.218 University Place (with lunch from 12 noon in Room 2.217)
Radiation therapy is an important option for the treatment of a wide range of cancers. Careful planning of the radiotherapy beam extent is needed to maximise the radiation dose to the tumour while sparing healthy tissues.
Imaging is the only way to provide detailed information with which to plan the radiotherapy dose. A number of challenges exist in the process of radiotherapy planning from imaging data, which leads to active research in the area in order to improve the accuracy and consistency of radiation dosing.
Speakers at this symposium are:
- Gareth Webster – MR in radiotherapy
- Peter Julyan – PET-CT
- Ranald Mackay – Proton therapy
