Joint School on GATE

Africa/Kinshasa
Description

 

The 3 day school is organized jointly by

It will be held online via Zoom.

The goal of the school is

  • Learn the usage of the GATE platform for medical physics
  • Understand the features of the platform dedicated to the development of detection systems (PET, SPECT, CT and X-rays) and detector response, the management of medical images, the development of clinical and preclinical beams in radiation therapy and dose calculation for different radiation therapy treatments (internal or external)
  • Focus will be on imaging devices for clinical use

The school will be a combination of lectures on the various topics and hands-on exercises using GATE. Participants will run the exercises on their own computers so they can continue using GATE after the school.

After successfully attending the school, including the exercises, participants will receive a Certificate of Completion.
