Session

Overview: The teaching lecture will provide an overview of the main techniques used for image guidance in radiotherapy and the recent developments in this field. The lecture will focus on the most central in-room imaging modalities, including x-ray, MRI and surface guided radiotherapy (SGRT). For each of these the lecture will cover their use in patient setup, motion management and potential for adaptive radiotherapy. The presentation will mainly be relevant for photon therapy, but will give some examples on differences and similarities of the use of these techniques also in proton therapy. Perspective on emerging image guidance methods will be briefly discussed.
