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 using pre-event screencast materials and delivered during the CPD event through 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 Head & Neck Radiotherapy will be discussed.

In addition to previous study days, more focus on the interpretation of imaging modalities used in planning and verification will be developed through case studies in the session.

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 Head & Neck cancer.
• 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.
