emission imaging are attracting a lot of attention, but the developments of
computerised tomography (CT) is also significant. The session will provide an
overview of some of the latest advancements in CT and their potential to improve
current practice in radiotherapy.

SYMPOSIUM
High tech or low tech for metastatic disease, how does one decide and
what is the cost-benefit?
08:45 - 10:00 | STRAUS 1
This session will explore the potential for curative treatment in metastatic disease,
available treatment options, ‘pros’ and ‘cons’ of using high technology in metastatic
disease, the limitations and the presence or absence of clear patient selection criteria.
The findings of a single institutions study on clinician preference for low and high
technology will be presented. With respect to palliation the patient perception of
a single fraction option for painful bone metastases and the application of LEAN
Six Sigma in optimising work-flow. The final presentation will outline trial findings
on technical equipment and medical staff resource requirements for stereotactic
radiotherapy and radiosurgery (QUIRO-DEGRO trial)
Chair: M. Coffey (Ireland)
Co-chair: A. Wegmayr (Austria)
08:45 > High tech approaches for curative treatment, when is enough enough?
Speaker: J. Kazmierska (Poland)
