Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Spinal Metastasis: an Overview of Doses and Fractionation
The webinar will focus on the dose and fractionation of spine SBRT referring to the latest published studies. Primary SBRT and reirradiation will be addressed, as well as recent data on doses/fractionation. Case reports will be shared demonstrating clinical and technical aspects of spinal SBRT delivery.
Advances in TomoTherapy®/Radixact® Treatment and QA – Guidelines from TG-306
Since the publication of Task Group 148 in 2010, the TomoTherapy platform has undergone substantial development involving treatment delivery, image guidance, motion management, and treatment planning systems (TPS). New hardware and software capabilities have dramatically changed its delivery and planning characteristics. Task Group 306 was formed to provide guidance on the implementation, management, and quality assurance for these technological advances. In this session, the work of Task Group 306 will be presented. Changes to the TomoTherapy platform since 2010 and the impact on clinical delivery and QA practices, including QA tests and tolerance limits will be presented.
TomoTherapy® based dose-escalated radiation therapy for painful bone metastases using the Scan-Plan-QA-Treat workflow
In this webinar, Drs. Muller and Wijesooriya will discuss their experience with same day simulation, planning, and treatment of painful osseous metastases with dose escalated radiation therapy using the TomoTherapy platform. They will also discuss the prospective trials, and the workflow performed at the University of Virginia. The session will be moderated by Dr. Paul Read.
Planning with the CyberKnife® VOLO™ Optimizer: Hear from the experts
In this webinar the presenters will share their approach to planning brain metastases, lung tumors, and prostate tumors using the VOLO optimizer. This will be followed by a moderated Q&A session.

TomoTherapy® with VoLO™ & TomoEDGE™: Special Considerations in Treatment Planning
Since its release, the TomoTherapy® platform has noticeably improved in its flexibility and efficiency of treatment planning. Within this newfound flexibility many of the original planning parameters are being reinvestigated in regard to their suitability, robustness, and efficiency of planning. This talk aims to open the discussion of planning on the TomoTherapy platform and help users understand how to efficiently arrive to where they want to be with their clinical dosimetry.
