Inter-fraction motion management and offline adaptive radiotherapy
This topic invites abstracts related to adaptive radiotherapy with a focus on offline, inter-fraction adaptation and image-guided RT. Development and implementation of new adaptation strategies including patient validation can also be submitted.
|
|
Dosimetry
Abstracts submitted to this category may contain classical experimental studies on characterization of new detectors, phantom development and measurement protocols as well as dose measurement and dose calculation including radiation protection.
|
|
Imaging acquisition and processing
This category aims at abstracts describing studies related to development and validation of (novel) image acquisition and analysis strategies including CT, MRI, PET and potentially other imaging techniques used for radiotherapy planning, prescription, adaptation and outcome prediction.
|
|
Implementation of new technology and techniques
Abstracts submitted under this topic may report on the development and implementation of new technologies, workflows and treatment techniques, including in clinical protocols and trials. Abstracts on quality assurance and auditing with a focus on physics and technology can also be submitted.

|
Intra-fraction motion management and real-time adaptive radiotherapy
This topic invites abstracts reporting on studies focused on intra-fraction motion management, including online and real-time adaptive radiotherapy.
|
|
Physical aspects of quantitative functional and biological imaging
Here, studies reporting on physical aspects including image acquisition, analysis methods and/or independent validation of quantitative functional and biological imaging. This may include correlation studies with respect to endpoints during or after fractionated radiotherapy and evaluation of current or future radiotherapy interventions based on quantitative imaging.
|
|
Radiomics, modelling and statistical methods
Includes reports on studies related to outcome/ prediction modelling based on classical risk predictions or radiomics, including methodological considerations and statistics. If the focus is on the modelling methodology or advanced statistics for outcome prediction, then the abstract should be submitted here. If the focus is on the outcomes only then the abstract should be submitted to the clinical track.
