Dear Members,
we warmly invite you to our upcoming Excursion: with Franziska Eckert & Team.
This excursion provides a unique opportunity to get insights into the workflows of and equipment used in radiation oncology.We will start with very short introductory lectures from perspectives of radiation oncologists, medical radiation physicists and radiotherapy technicians.
Four steps of the treatment process will be demonstrated practically:
- Therapy preparation, including patient positioning and radiotherapy masks
- Radiotherapy planning with defining "target volumes" and calculating and optimizing dose distribution
- Treatment at the Linear Accelerator (LINAC) including image-guided radiotherapy
- Technical aspects of LINACs.
The program is tailored for medical doctors wanting to gain insight into what happens at radiation oncology, as well as preclinical researchers seeking an understanding of clinical treatments in this field. No prior knowledge is required. Anyone working in oncology and oncology research should have a basic idea about radiation oncology to improve their ability to communicate with patients and to gain better understanding of the role of radiation in cancer treatment.
