MR Guided Gynecological Interstitial High-Dose Rate Brachytherapy
Workshop Program
Join us for a full day workshop in Kuwait on February 7th 2025, dedicated to the latest advancements in MR guided GYN interstitial brachytherapy
The workshop is designed to help participants learn about the clinical needs and indications of such a treatment and explaining the commissioning and quality assurance for the safe and accurate delivery of radiotherapy dose.
The workshop will include a theoretical presentations and hands-on demonstration of planning GYN brachytherapy cases from clinical and physics perspective
The workshop is suitable for radiation oncologist and radiotherapy medical physicists working in gynecological cancer treatment and brachytherapy
