ForwardSurface Guided Radiation Therapy Training Program 2024 (RP2412C-May2024)
The primary focus of this CME course(s) is to help oncology professionals in academic, community, and private centers learn about and better understand the proper implementation of a viable and effective Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT) treatment practice. The emphasis is on the utilization of SGRT during treatments on linear accelerators and clearance mapping for treatment planning. The course presents an overview and rational for the role of SGRT in these areas (didactic lectures) and practical experience through clinical observation/hands-on skill demonstration.
Target Audience
Radiation oncologists, medical physicists, medical dosimetrists, administrators, and radiation therapists interested in implementing surface-guided radiation therapy (SGRT) into clinical practice are encouraged to attend this program.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Examine the clinical rationale for surface-guided radiation therapy for treatments on linear accelerators
- Describe and observe treatments that utilize surface SGRT
- Describe and perform clearance mapping for treatment planning with emphasis on non-coplanar treatments
