Research Masterclass in Radiotherapy Physics 2017

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
