IGRTSalzburg 2011 aims at bringing national and international scientists
in image guided radiotherapy together in order to present, demonstrate
and discuss recent advances in this fast evolving field. Besides
traditional lectures / posters, we focus on clinical onsite (radART
institute) and live software demonstrations in an interactive workshop
atmosphere. We invite you to submit your abstract for presentation or
workshop demonstration dealing with, but not limited to:<br>
<br>
2D / 3D image registration / tracking<br>
Medical image registration / segmentation<br>
Model-based approaches (shape, appearance)<br>
Cone-beam CT (3D / 4D)<br>
Marker detection for organ tracking<br>
Flexmap calibration approaches<br>
Adaptive IGRT approaches<br>
Margin analyses<br>
Optical surface scanning<br>
4D applications: gating / tracking<br>
US-based systems<br>
Electro-magnetic transponder systems<br>
EPID: hybrid imaging, in-vivo dosimetry, gas electron multipliers vs. aSi:H<br>
Workflow solutions, record & verify<br>
Intra-fractional correction approaches<br>
Robotic solutions for radiotherapy<br>
Open-source toolkits for radiotherapy<br>
<br>
We will have a conference dinner on Dec 6th and visit the Salzburger "Christkindlmarkt".<br>
<br>
<br>
Key note lectures:<br>
<br>
- Balancing tumor healing and side effects: a history perspective, Fridtjof Nüsslin (Munich, World)<br>
- Imaging for Proton Therapy: Current State and Future Goals, Gregory C. Sharp, Brian Winey (Boston, USA)<br>
- Perspectives of Image Fusion and Realtime Registration in Image-Guided Radiotherapy, Wolfgang Birkfellner (Vienna, AUSTRIA)<br>
- Probabilistic aspects in treatment planning, Uwe Oelfke, Simeon Nill (Heidelberg, GERMANY)<br>
- Adaptive IGRT with Next Generation Record and Verify Systems, Heinz Deutschmann (Salzburg, AUSTRIA)<br><br><br>NOTE:<br></font></font><br>Only a limited number of participants can register for the conference.
If the limit is reached, you can still register for a place on the
waiting list, you will be notified as soon as a place is available.
Presenters are preferred!<br><p>There are three different presentation mode options:<br></p><p>- workshop
contribution (you will have a own table and presentation environment –
e.g. a laptop – and present your work interactively to conference
attendees who will be periodically guided to your table; there is enough
space for discussion and live demonstration of your work; if
applicable, bring software and phantoms with you, we will have access to
an Elekta Synergy linear accelerator and a Siemens Somatom Emotion CT
with 4D option)</p><p>- oral presentation (power point presentation in the lecture room)<br></p><p>- poster presentation (printed DIN A0 or A1 poster of your work will be placed on dedicated walls) <strong><br></strong></p>
