4. From Physics to Medical Applications

27/04/2018, 14:45

Talk

Physics has been and continues to be instrumental in the development of technologies in the biomedical domain especially the use of ionizing radiation for medical imaging and therapy ever since the discovery of X-rays by Roentgen in 1895.

The challenging demand for particle physics has pushed the detector performance to very high limits both in terms of spatial and time resolution and the...

5. Do we need hadron therapy: a medical doctors point of view

27/04/2018, 15:15

Talk

The main goal of radiotherapy is to maximize the damage to the tumor while minimizing the damage to the surrounding healthy tissue in the attempt to reduce acute and late side effects. Ion beam therapy (i.e. proton and carbon ion radiotherapy) is regarded as a promising therapeutic option because of its physical Bragg-peak characteristics. The fundamental rationale for the use of ion beam...

6. The Radiobiology of Proton Therapy: Challenges and Opportunities to Overcome RBE-related Problems

27/04/2018, 15:45

Talk

With the current worldwide expansion of proton therapy, there is a great opportunity for clinical radiation oncologists and physicists to develop an interest in the associated scientific base and clinical results. In particular, the continuing controversy regarding the conversion of photon dose to proton dose by the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) must be understood, including its...

7. Proton therapy in the complex treatment of breast cancer

27/04/2018, 16:30

Talk

Breast cancer is the most common tumor among women and the second cause of cancer deaths in women. Up to 1 million new cases are registered in the world annually. This disease, diagnosed in the early stages, is characterized by high rates of overall 5-year and 10-year survival, and the late complications of radiation therapy included in the complex treatment of this category of patients become...

8. Theranostics: new methods for radionuclide therapy and diagnostics

27/04/2018, 17:30

Talk

The report "Theranostics: new methods for radionuclide therapy and diagnostics" will give knowledge about the important role of novel radionuclides for diagnostics(Positron Emission Tomography and Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) and therapy (radio-immuno-therapy). Merging imaging and therapy to Theranostics (a neologism from therapy based on diagnostics) for diagnose and treat...
