    This one-day satellite meeting will be held alongside the 3rd European Congress of Medical Physics in Turin, Italy on June 16, 2021. The event will focus on when, how, and analyzing patient specific quality assurance (PSQA) in radiation therapy. Speakers will discuss why PSQA is performed and examine common approaches, including pre-treatment, on-treatment, and post-treatment verification. The goal is to help participants understand the assumptions, advantages, limitations, and outputs of different PSQA techniques. The event is intended for clinical medical physicists involved in radiation oncology and will be accredited for continuing education credits.

    ESMPE European School for Medical Physics Experts

    Patient Specific QA in RT
    When/How/Analysis
    16th June 2021,Torino, Italy

    This one day satellite meeting will be held in conjunction with the 3rd European Congress of
    Medical Physics. The vast majority of radiotherapy centers undertake some form of Patient Specific
    Quality Assurance (PSQA) for some or all patients undergoing advanced RT treatments. While
    there is some potential benefit in doing this, there are significant challenges in terms of resources
    required and in understanding the inherent assumptions and limitations of the different equipment
    and techniques used. This workshop is intended to first allow the participants to consider why we
    should (or should not) undertake PSQA. The faculty will then explore the main approaches to
    PSQA (pre-treatment, on-treatment and post-treatment). This exploration is intended to provide
    participants with an opportunity to examine the underlying assumptions, recognise the advantages
    and limitations of each approach and assess of the output from each.
    The event will be accredited by EBAMP (European Board for Accreditation in Medical
    Physics) and is intended for practising clinical Medical Physicists who are involved in Radiation
    Oncology clinical routine.
