Department of Radiation Oncology & Medical Physics, Tata Memorial Centre (TMC), Mumbai is organizing an XXth Annual TMH Radiotherapy Practicum on Multimodality Imaging in Radiation Oncology “See the world in a grain of sand” from 2 - 3 September 2022.
About the Annual TMH Radiotherapy Practicum
Modern radiation oncology practice is a testament to the old adage that “A picture is worth a thousand words”. The so-called therapeutic gain that can be achieved by maximizing tumor control and minimizing acute and late toxicity is dependent on delivering high precision radiotherapy which in turn is critically dependent on a thorough understanding of images and the augmented capacity provided by analysis and fusion of disparate but complementary imaging modalities. Accordingly, the theme of this year’s Radiotherapy Practicum is “Multimodality Imaging in Radiotion Oncology”. Over the course of a two-day period comprising of didactic lectures and practical demonstrations by renowned national and international faculty, we would attempt to bring forth a simplistic and yet a comprehensive understanding of current cross-sectional imaging modalities used in clinical high-precision radiotherapy planning in the contemporary era. During the course of the Practicum, our endeavour would be to cover the following focus areas.
-
Overview of cross-sectional imaging modalities (CT, MRI, PET)
-
Multimodality image fusion and registration
-
Usage of multimodality image fusion in contouring (CNS, Head & Neck, Lymphomas)
-
Imaging as a trigger for adaptive radiotherapy, verification
-
Multimodality imaging in response assessment CNS, Head & Neck, Lymphoma)
-
Multimodality imaging in predicting TCP and NTCP
-
Newer imaging modalities in the anvil for the radiotherapy processes
Application Process (Only on E-mail)
This practicum is meant for Radiation Oncologists, Medical Physicists and Radiotherapy Technologists practicing high precision radiotherapy using multimodal radiological and functional imaging.
We request interested candidates to kindly apply with a completely filled “PreRegistration Form” by “E-Mail only” to the conference secretariat at the following address: [email protected].
