The SRS and SBRT have been used for tumours located in the skull, head & neck lung/thorax, thyroid, pancreas, liver, colon, uterus, pelvis, sacrum, kidney, prostate, and thyroid. SRS & SBRT's most important features and reported advantages compared to other forms of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) are the use of high-dose radiation, the delivery of one to five fractions within a few days, decreasing the overall length of treatment, and improved treatment response.
SRS & SBRT can be difficult to administer because of interfraction or intrafraction movements within the body. Hence SRS & SBRT practitioners need to undergo training and acquire the right skills to practice this procedure. SRS & SBRT can be delivered by dedicated and non-dedicated linear accelerators. Hence, hands-on practice on the equipment is also essential for aspiring practitioners. In this course, we cover all aspects of SRS & SBRT and all sites.
In this course, you will perform SRS & SBRT planning techniques with Monaco. The hands-on experience gained in this course can assist you in implementing SRS and SBRT workflow in your clinic. Tasks include a quick review of the navigation of the system, contouring tools, fusing study sets, planning tools, calculating dose to a 3D plan, applying sequence and calculation parameters, planning with biological cost functions, and using the various tools for plan review.
You can create a QA plan as well as perform various exercises with the Monaco planning workflow, parameters, and cost functions to apply these skills/tasks in the clinic.
The course consists of 04 days of in-class training.
The intended audience for the ELEKTA System training class includes radiation oncologists, medical physicists and radiation therapists.
