HOW IMAGING INNOVATIONS CAN OPTIMISE MULTIDISCIPLINARY
TUMOUR BOARDS’ CHOICES
Jointly organised with ESOR

COuRSE aimS
This course, jointly organized by ESTRO and ESOR (European School of Radiology), aims
at promoting an integrated approach between specialists involved in multidisciplinary
tumour boards to tailor the best treatment for each individual patient by exploiting the
use of imaging.
New advanced imaging technology not only provides morphological information on tumour
extension, but also information on tumour function and biology. It not only allows
a good evaluation of tumour response during and after treatment, but also an early detection
of tumour recurrence. Radiation oncologists increasingly use hybrid equipment
in which diagnostic imaging technology is incorporated within the radiation treatment
machines to allow continuous adaptation of radiation treatment according to the daily
response of the tumour, the surrounding organs and their movement.
Thus there is a growing interest to enhance the collaboration between imaging specialists
to optimise and to adapt the different uses of imaging to the comprehensive
clinical management of the oncological patient.
By the combination of lectures and case discussions, this course aims to offer a programme
focusing on the use of imaging in a truly multidisciplinary environment to support
understanding between different specialists’ needs, practising common language
and delineating research perspectives.
WhO ShOuld aTTEnd?
The target group consists of radiation oncologists and senior residents and junior radiologists
who are interested in learning and improving their knowledge on an optimal
approach to multidisciplinary treatment management exploiting the use of imaging.
