ESTRO Advanced Imaging in Radiotherapy: Current use, Future developments, and the Integration of AI
The course is aimed at all professionals in the field of radiation oncology who want to utilize imaging in the best possible way. This includes radiation oncologists, medical physicists, radiation therapists (RTTs) and researchers.
The use of imaging in radiotherapy is advancing rapidly. From MRI- and PET-based tumor delineation to online image guidance for daily adaptive treatment delivery; imaging is becoming increasingly important throughout the entire radiotherapy treatment chain. Innovations in the field of image acquisition (e.g., spectral CT, functional MRI, quantitative PET) as well as image processing (image registration, segmentation, and the use of Artificial Intelligence) are already changing the way we operate on a daily basis.
