MDO-721 Treatment Planning II
A continuation of Treatment Planning I that focuses on advanced treatment planning techniques including IMRT/VMAT, MCO, dynamic conformal arc therapy, stereotactic treatment planning, proton therapy, IORT, TSE, TBI and MR-linac. Discusses the advantages of each technique/modality over conventional 3D-treatment planning and contrasts against the challenges presented by each technique such as need for better immobilization, 4D CT scanning and daily IGRT. Discusses increasingly complex dosimetric and imaging concepts such as out-of-field dose, reirradiation, effects of inhomogeneity, deformable image registration, and robustness.
