Female Pelvis Anatomy for IGRT webinar, Wednesday 11th September, 6.30-8.30pm

Capacity = 100
Places available = 40

Description of event & aims:

This webinar is funded by the National HSCP office and is open to all Radiation Therapists working in HSE departments. This webinar is recorded and available to all registrants post-event. If you have any registration issues please email iirrtcpdofficer@gmail.com

Image Guided Radiotherapy is a rapidly evolving part of practice in Radiotherapy. Radiographers require skills of anatomical knowledge, particularly in cross sectional CT and increasingly MR imaging, skills to evaluate verification images and be able to make decisions on proceeding with treatment in real time.

The relevant regional anatomy will be introduced during the CPD event through the use of 3D virtual reality demonstration and active labelling of cross-sectional images, to provide a grounding in fundamental principles of anatomy for verification imaging.

The principles and practice of image guided Radiotherapy, accuracy & reproducibility in Gynaecological Radiotherapy will be discussed. Key skills for the interpretation of imaging modalities used in planning and verification will be developed through case studies. The event is designed to develop decision making skills and evaluation of treatment margins and tolerances and developing practice including the application of adaptive planning.

 Learning Outcomes:

•        Critically evaluate the need for, and approaches to image guidance in Radiotherapy delivery for Gynaecological cancers.
•        Apply fundamental knowledge of anatomy and practice to the interpretation of images in the radiotherapy process.
•        Critically reflect and make judgements about image guided radiotherapy  practice and the provision of a radiotherapy service.
