To develop a simple protocol for dose verification of Leipzig surface HDR applicators using Gafchromic EBT3 film.

To evaluate dosimetric differences and dose calculation efficiency between the Anisotropic Analytical Algorithm (AAA) and Acuros XB for volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT)-based total body irradiation (TBI) planning.

To quantify the dosimetric impact of pelvic bone electron density (ED) assignment on dose accuracy and target coverage in an adapt-to-shape (ATS) MR-guided adaptive radiotherapy (MRgRT) workflow on a 1.5 T MR-Linac for prostate stereotactic body radiotherapy...

To quantify the impact of lead aprons on reducing out-of-field fetal dose during external beam photon intracranial treatments.

Professional

To assess how different treatment planning techniques affect dose homogeneity and OAR sparing in VMAT total-body irradiation (TBI) plans.

To quantify the impact of interfractional variations on the dosimetric quality of VMAT TBI plans, primarily caused by potentially inconsistent upper limb placement at treatment; and to determine a clinically optimal setup for plan robustness against such vari...

“I wonder how other centers are addressing this issue” – Is a question that comes up frequently in particle therapy, which is a challenging and constantly evolving field. The Working Group on Particle Therapy Delivery and Practice (WGPDP) was recently formed...

Innovation in radiation oncology is not the product of chance it is the result of systematic effort, clinical vision, and deliberate execution. Turning a creative idea into a clinically deployed product requires far more than inspiration. It demands deep doma...

Radiation oncology leaders are increasingly asked to convert strategic ideas into funded, well-run programs that measurably improve quality, access, and financial performance. This symposium delivers a pragmatic, end-to-end playbook led by three complementary...

Radiation Risk Communication (RRC) has emerged as a central pillar of modern medical physics—-essential for bridging the gap between scientific knowledge and public understanding. For decades, efforts in RRC have focused largely on advocacy—-emphasizing reass...

CAMPEP standards require residency programs to train residents on soft skills, such as professionalism, ethics, etc. Recently a nationwide survey of CAMPEP residencies was performed to investigate how programs are incorporating this type of training into thei...

In a time when the economy is far from stable, it helps to develop a game plan to ensure and insure your financial future. This session will be aimed at giving practical advice to physicists at any career stage on how to plan for their financial future. Finan...
