    (Vorlesung, 2 SWS, Christoph Bert, Fri, 10:00 - 12:00, SR)

Empfohlene Voraussetzungen:

This module is based on module Introduction to medical physics in radiation therapy (MEDPHYS-I) and can only be attended after successful attendance of MEDPHYS-I

It is recommended to finish the following modules before starting this module:

Introduction to medical physics in radiation therapy (WS 2021/2022)

Inhalt:

The lecture within the module focuses on special subjects of medical physics in radiation oncology.
Among them are management of organ motion (focusing on respiratory motion) in imaging and treatment, brachytherapy, i.e. treatment based on sealed radioactive materials that are inserted into/close to the target volume, and ion beam therapy, i.e. the treatment using protons or carbon ions which required a dedicated infrastructure w.r.t. treatment delivery but also treatment planning.

Lernziele und Kompetenzen:

Students … … can explain the main challenges related to organ motion in planning and delivery of radiation therapy … can explain and sketch the main technical and medical physics workflow of an ion beam therapy … transfer the knowledge gained of organ motion in photon therapy to ion beam therapy … report the workflow and the medical physics principles of brachytherapy
