Research in radiotherapy medical physics: What's next?
Adrian Gutierrez,
Belgium;
Jenny Bertholet,
Switzerland
This pitch session explores the next frontiers of medical physics research in 5 key areas of radiotherapy. Speakers will present future research directions on:
- new treatment units’ development,
- dose calculation and optimization as dynamic, biology-driven tasks expanded to incorporate emerging synergies like theranostics or dose-to-blood calculation.
- response modelling to shift from dose-based toward response-guided therapy including spatial, temporal and biological information,
- new detector developments and dosimetry audits
- optimizing the use and integration of imaging data in effective longitudinal models and decision making.
This session will inspire the audience to develop bold new research ideas for multi-modality approaches that can transform the radiotherapy landscape.
