TARGET GROUP

The course is aimed primarily at staff involved in advanced treatment planning in their daily routine, preferably with at least two years of experience. This is designed not only for radiation therapists (RTTs) but also for physicists and radiation oncologists with clinical experience and a basic understanding of the fundamental components of treatment planning, who wish to deepen their knowledge of various planning techniques.

COURSE AIM/RATIONALE

This five day course intends to:
•  Enhance the knowledge of comprehensive treatment planning and the understanding of strategies to obtain optimal treatment plans for patients. This implies a complex integration of clinical, imaging, biological and physical/technological knowledge, skills and competencies.
•  Focus on challenging scenarios related to the interaction of these issues with a specific focus on advanced adaptations of close distribution, with and without computer aided optimisation and modelling, in particular in more complex cases.
