IMRT&VMAT planning in practiceAugust 22, 2018
Copenhagen, DenmarkThe school will be aimed at improving the skills in the �eld of the inverse planning for IMRT and VMAT in daily clinical practice. This one day satellite meeting will be held in conjunction with the 2nd European Congress of Medical Physics and teaching sessions covering the main topics of inverse planning will provide the background for live exercises using clinical cases. The event will be accredited by EBAMP (European Board for Accreditation in Medical Physics) and is intended for practising clinical Medical Physicists who are involved in radiotherapy treatment planning.
