Each step in the radiation treatment process, from CT to
treatment delivery needs to be precise, ensuring the
optimal treatment is achieved. In this debate we will
focus on this precision, discussing if we have found the
highest level of precision in radiation treatment.
Topics for debate will include:
-Modern planning and delivery systems have optimised
target coverage.
-Online Cone Beam CT/MR guidance has maximised
precision in the preparation of the radiation therapy
treatment
-MR/CT imaging during radiotherapy delivery has
optimised the precision and accuracy of radiation
treatment delivery
-The precision of highly conformal treatment techniques
has resulted in improved clinical outcomes with reduced
radiotherapy related side effects.
