12th international Conference on Electronic Patient Imaging
12 - 14 Mar 2012
Sidney, Australia
The goal of the meeting is to bring together the world’s best scientists and clinicians in the area of real-time image-guided radiotherapy to forge the path from the current status to future widespread implementation. The focus of the presentations will be forward looking: what are the future directions and future challenges for real-time localization and adaptive radiotherapy in each particular area? Common themes and issues will be identified throughout the day with a broad discussion to close the day. A white paper summarizing proceedings will be compiled and if appropriate submitted for publication.
