ROADMAP

RADIOTHERAPY TREATMENT PLANNING AND DELIVERY

• 3 clinical case discussion sessions in small groups • 1 informal "meet the teacher" session for (individual) discussions between participants and faculty mem- bers, potentially covering all kinds of issues related to physics and technology in clinical radiotherapy as brought up by attendants.
