International Workshop on Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT)
Join us in Maastricht for an advanced, hands-on workshop on SGRT! Maastro invites radiation therapy professionals from across Europe to the first edition of the International Workshop on Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT). Over three days, leading experts will share the latest insights into SGRT implementation, clinical application and new developments. All vendors will be on-site which will provide an interactive atmosphere for knowledge sharing.
The workshop combines presentations by leading experts and practical training supported by the vendors, including hands-on sessions with various commercial SGRT systems at Maastro. The workshop is endorsed by the ESTRO SGRT working group, which is part of the ESTRO Focus Group Positioning & Immobilisation. We currently seek accreditation for the workshop from EFOMP and the Dutch Association of Medical Physicists (NVKF).
Topics covered:
Surface Guide Radiation Therapy (SGRT) Systems
- Physical principles and system properties
- SGRT for ring gantry systems
- SGRT for markerless and tattooless RT
- SGRT for proton therapy
- SGRT for SRS/SBRT
Implementation and Optimization
- Guidance for implementing SGRT systems
- Tools and optimization methods
- Basic and advanced QA methods (including 3D printed phantoms)
- Recommendations for workflows: treatment sites
- Patient positioning and motion control: treatment sites
- Gating and 4D techniques: Breathing control, mechanical ventilation techniques
New Developments
