SUMMARY:Breathing control for motion management in radiotherapy and imaging
DESCRIPTION:Start Date: Mar 15th\, 2024 00:00 \nEnd Date: Mar 16th\, 2024 00:00 \nURL: https://breathmotioninrt.com/ \nLocation: Amsterdam \n \nWe are excited to announce this first ever special international symposium about respiratory motion management in radiotherapy and imaging. Organ motion due to breathing hampers accurate radiotherapy in the thoracic and upper abdominal region\, and requires generous margins. Respiratory motion management is also an increasingly important topic in (diagnostic) imaging. Besides technical solutions such as tracking and gating\, non-invasive breathing control using ventilators is getting more awareness over the last years. \nWith this symposium we aim to bring together an international audience with interest in and/or expertise regarding non-invasive breathing control of conscious patients. \nDuring this symposium we will discuss how to\n\nexplore critical hidden pathways: a new look at optimal respiratory motion management;\ncombine external and internal fixation – a new paradigm for radiotherapy;\ndiscover novel non-invasive immobilization of the breathing patient;\nlearn how to redistribute normal lung tissue\, fixate the chest wall\, diaphragm\, tumor and surrounding organs-at-risk;.\nachieve faster treatment times than with tracking or gating;\nreduce motion of moving targets with simple and robust solutions.\n\nTopics of interest include\n\nadministration and safety of supplemental  (e.g. 60%) oxygen;\nnon-invasive mechanical ventilation to regularize breathing or to breath hold;\ncombinations of non-invasive mechanical ventilation with tracking or gating;\nother techniques to regularize breathing;\npotential application for particle and proton therapy;\nimprovement of image quality and artifact reduction with MRI\, CT or PET.\n\n  \nAudience\nClinicians\, radiation therapists (RTTs)\, physicists\, physiologists\, anesthetists\, intensivists or any other discipline involved in radiation treatment and/or imaging. \nSubscription \nLocation\nAmsterdam University Medical Centre\, location AMC \nAdress: Meibergdreef 9\, 1105 AZ Amsterdam \nFormat\nA number of invited speakers will give an extensive overview of the status of the field\, both from a fundamental and an applied clinical perspective. A live demonstration with a volunteer is being prepared to show the application of breathing control management with non-invasive mechanical ventilation. Industrial partners are invited to showcase their interest and developments. There will be ample opportunity for networking with social activities\, including a diner and boat trip in Amsterdam. \nOrganizing committee\nProf. dr.

SUMMARY:IOMP Webinar: IOMP’s Focus: Early Career in Medical Physics and the most recent trends in diagnostic imaging and radiotherapy
DESCRIPTION:19 December 2023 at 12 pm GMT; Duration 1 hour \nRegister here \nTo check the corresponding time in your country please check this link: \nhttps://greenwichmeantime.com/time-gadgets/time-zone-converter/ \n\n\n\nOrganizer: M Stoeva\nModerator: KH Ng\nSpeakers: Tan Hong Qi & Choirul Anam\, IUPAP Early Career in Medical Physics awardees \n\n\nTitle: Impact of dispersive proton beam on reference dosimetry in a synchrotron spot scanning system \n  \nDr Tan Hong Qi is currently a senior medical physicist in National Cancer Centre of Singapore (NCCS) and is also a clinical instructor in Duke-NUS medical School. He received his PhD from National University of Singapore and completed his residency in NCCS. He is active in both the radiotherapy research and education in Singapore for which he was recognized with institutional level awards and recent SEAFOMP young leader award. His current research interests are the application of AI in radiotherapy\, adaptive radiotherapy\, and proton therapy. \nAbstract: \nWe have recently commissioned the largest proton therapy center in Singapore and have treated more than 30 patients over the last 4 months after the first clinical start date. This talk will share some of our commissioning experience with Hitachi ProBeat proton therapy which is a spot scanning synchrotron delivery system. In particular\, we will report the observation of a large fluctuation in reference dosimetry measurement with a square field and an ion chamber measurement at the plateau region of a monoenergetic proton beam. An investigative journey reveal that the fluctuation originated from the dispersion in the proton beam. This accelerator physics term will be introduced\, and we will show for the first time\, the feasibility of measuring it in the clinic. \n\n\nTitle: Automated dose and image quality measurements from clinical CT images for CT optimization \n \nDr. Choirul Anam completed his Ph.D at Physics Department\, Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB).  He received Master degree from University of Indonesia (UI) and the B.Sc degree in physics from Diponegoro University (UNDIP). He is currently working as a Lecturer and Researcher in the UNDIP. His research interests are medical image processing and dosimetry for diagnostic radiology\, particularly in CT. He has authored and co-authored over 200 papers. In the last ten years\, he was the first author over 50 papers. One of his papers published in the Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics had been awarded as the Best Medical Imaging Physics Article in 2016. He received the Best Paper Award during 15th South East Asian Congress of Medical Physics (SEACOMP). He was also recognised as an Outstanding Reviewer for Physics in Medicine and Biology in 2018 and for Biomedical Physics and Engineering Express in 2019. He was also awarded as the SEAFOMP Young Leader Awards 2019 for his contribution in CT dosimetry and image quality from the South East Asian Federation of Organizations for Medical Physics (SEAFOMP). He is developer of two software\, i.e. IndoseCT and IndoQCT (www.indosect.com). \nAbstract: \nRecent studies revealed that computed tomography (CT) scanning poses a potential cancer risk in patients. Although the risk is considered much smaller than the benefits of CT scanning to accurately diagnose patient abnormalities\, the CT examination must be optimized. In radiation optimization\, an image of sufficient quality to diagnose the patient must be achieved with the smallest possible dose. Up until now\, image quality and radiation dose were usually evaluated using a standard phantom of standardized characteristic. The evaluation of image quality and radiation dose using the standard phantom is very good for assessing dependency on controllable variables\, such as tube currents\, tube voltage\, pitch\, reconstruction filter\, and beam width. However\, they are also influenced by uncontrollable variables\, such as body size and body region. For optimization purposes\, the controllable and uncontrollable variables must be considered simultaneously. This talk will discuss methods of automated image quality (noise and spatial resolution) and patient dose (i.e. size-specific dose estimate (SSDE)) directly from image of patient.
