Programme

Overview: This session will address the crucial role of external dosimetry audits in ensuring safety, quality improvement, certification for clinical trials, and for the clinical implementation of new techniques. We will describe various types of audits, from reference dosimetry audits to end-to-end audits of advanced techniques, addressing their different designs, including their specific designs, methodologies, and frequencies. The session will be divided into four parts, with speakers presenting on the implementation of audits in Australia, Japan, China, and Europe. These presentations will cover: • The rationale for external dosimetry audits • Promoting equality in patient care, outcomes, and safety • The importance of IMRT and IGRT audits in clinical trials • Virtual and remote audit systems • Insights on European dosimetry audit services Join us to gain a comprehensive understanding of the different approaches to dosimetry audits and their impact on clinical practice worldwide.

Overview: In this session advanced imaging techniques will be presented. The session will begin with methods used to optimising protocols and will cover aspects such as dose, workflow quality assurance and personalisation. The specific factors relevant to imaging in proton therapy will be also be presented, with a focus on compensating for motion techniques. The current and future use of artificial intelligence in imaging and the potential impact will be discussed.

Overview: This session will cover the current state-of-the-art of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for radiotherapy. AI for target volume and organs at risk delineation will save our workload. AI for dose calculation and adaptive radiotherapy will allow us more precise treatment. Finally, future radiotherapy with AI will be discussed.
