Improvement of dose calculation accuracy
 Photons : for EBRT, accuracy seems adequate (even in
commercial TPS, if well implemented)
 Electrons:
• Accuracy with Monte Carlo
• Clinical urgency? #patients , often manual ‘planning’
• MERT
• Very High Energy Electrons (VHEE)
 Brachytherapy : Kari?
 Protons:
• Range uncertainty, dual energy CT, proton beam CT …
• Include RBE?
 Ions: Oliver?
Enhance optimization- and dose calculation speed
 Make better plans
 Fast, daily on-line (re)planning for adaptive RT (MR-linac, …)
 One-stop-shot palliative treatments
 Plan approval right after contouring
