Image Guided & Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy in Clinical Practice Course
14 – 16 February 2013
This course is designed to help clinicians, physicists and radiographers to develop programmes for the clinical implementation of image guided and intensity modulated radiotherapy and has been awarded 19 RCR Category I CPD credits from The Royal College of Radiologists.
The curriculum covers many practical aspects and includes hands-on practical outlining sessions, QA and dosimetry. It is recommended that a team of oncologist, physicist and radiographer from the same centre attend together.
The course is for three days and included in the cost are a set of lecture notes, a CD of the presentations, lunches, refreshments, cheese and wine and a course dinner on the evening of Thursday 14 February.
Day one: Introduces multi-modality and functional imaging for the delivery of complex radiotherapy, as well as an introduction to the principles of IM and IGRT.
Day two: Lectures on head & neck clinical trials, breast IMRT and radiobiological considerations in IMRT including hypofractionation will start the day.
Day three: Practical hands-on sessions on contouring supervised by oncologists and hands-on IMRT planning will be included.
