  1. 2727. Modern Applications of Monte Carlo Simulations in External Beam Radiation Therapy
    Dr Tony Popescu (BC Cancer Agency)

    Physics in Medicine and Biology / Physique en médecine et en biologie (DPMB-DPMB)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

    Monte Carlo simulations of radiation transport have played an important role in medical applications over the past three decades. More recently, Monte Carlo methods have been used for such modern radiotherapy applications as 4D patient doses calculations that take into account anatomy variations during treatment, in-vivo patient-specific verification of the treatment delivery, or image-guided...

    Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

    Radiotherapy is used to treat more than 50% of the cancer patients. Improving the therapeutic ratio, either by reducing the impact of side effects or enhancing the treatment effectiveness locally, is a major goal of current cancer radiotherapy. One of the ways to improve the local radiation dose while minimizing damage to healthy surrounding tissue is to introduction of high Z materials such...

  3. 2867. Breast radiotherapy in a single day: innovation advancing clinical care
    Dr Michelle Hilts (BC Cancer; University of British Columbia)

    Physics in Medicine and Biology / Physique en médecine et en biologie (DPMB-DPMB)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

    In 2012 BC Cancer became only the second institution worldwide to offer a novel radiation treatment for early stage breast cancer called Permanent Breast Seed Implant (PBSI). Briefly, patient specific treatment plans are designed that use strands of radioactive Pd-103 sources to deliver a prescription dose of 90Gy to the target region. Treatment consists of an operation where needles,...
