MR-Sim study day 2018

Discover what the future holds for advanced imaging in Radiation Therapy!

Join us at our annual study day which will focus on the implementation and potential of new MR advanced imaging techniques for both treatment planning and delivery. A highlight of this year’s programme includes an exploration of the role of the MR-Linac for therapy guidance. The development of this exciting solution has been a joint collaboration between Elekta, Philips and the MRL consortium. Speakers will be drawn from the international collaboration group to deliver presentations focusing on the implementation and potential of the new technology in the clinical setting.

This one day event will provide a comprehensive overview of the current and developing role of MRI in radiotherapy planning and treatment delivery. Through a series of lectures, user experience presentations and interactive discussions, the study day covers:

• The current and future potential of MR-RT from the perspective of the Radiation Oncologist
• Practical Commissioning and Quality Assurance – UK  User Experience
• The rationale for MR-guided treatment delivery
• Paediatric MR-SIM
• The role of MR in lung tumors
• The potential of extended HU MR-CAT images for applications in the pelvis

Relevant for all members of Radiation Medicine teams, this study day is free to attend and is CDP accredited. Drinks and refreshments will be provided throughout the day – please indicate any dietary requirements when completing the registration form. Attendance is by registration only.
