Group Introductions a. Taofeeq Ige (LMICs) b. Paul Collier/Steinar Stapnes (CERN) c. Nina Wendling (ICEC) d. Graeme Burt (UK)

Introduction to ICEC and Motivation for Project STELLA: Chair Manjit Dosanjh

• Norman Coleman (ICEC)

Data Gathering from Africa

• Manjit Dosanjh
• Taofeeq Ige

Review of the Project STELLA CDR: Chair Walter Wuensch

• Graeme Campbell Burt (Lancaster University (GB))

a. Design Goal Ranking ? b. Common problems with LINAC components from 28-country survey in Africa c. Beam specifications d. Brief Review of Accelerator and Supporting Subsystems e. Summary of recommendations from the CDR review and potential for implementation

Discussion of Key Design Considerations from LMICs

• Taofeeq Ige
• Manjit Dosanjh

a. Ability to provide radiation treatments with routine and advanced techniques; what do you consider essential: 3D-CRT, IMRT, VMAT, SBRT, SRS? b. Is single photon energy (6 MV), a dose rate of 600 cGy/min and a 0.1 cm beam spot size on target as selected acceptable? c. Are multi-leaf collimators (MLCs) breaking down a major problem? d. Cone-beam CT on the RT system? e. Higher level diagnostic imaging capability on the RT system (such a diagnostic CT scanner for adaptive replanning or for pure diagnostic imaging when the RT system is not being used for patient treatments?) f. Remote treatment planning as well as full capability for treatment planning locally? g. Remote RT system diagnostics and repair? Other?

Current RT Systems and Future Opportunities

• Jeff Buchsbaum
• Ceferino Obcemea

a. Review of 3 latest competitive RT systems - Halcyon, Siddhartha and UIH b. Potential technological advances that might be considered for the STELLA RT system.
