Research Masterclass in Radiotherapy Physics 2017

Imaging

• Characterized relation to pathology, but still association-based

• Alternatives / combinations

– Directly image cell markers (PET, …) – Direct imaging of (functional) consequences (PET, MRI, CT(?), Echo,…) – ???

• Opportunities

– “Import” imaging from other fields – Develop techniques to image endpoints unique for radiation responses – Validate readouts in animal / in vitro models by specific modulation of the pathology
