Real-time Image Guided HDR Brachytherapy for Prostate Cancer | USA

A clinical workshop focused on ultrasound-based Real-time HDR prostate treatments. Banner MD Anderson uses the Oncentra prostate Real-time treatment planning system.

Workshop Objectives

Learning the benefits of Real-time prostate HDR brachytherapy

• Participants can interact with experts, see live cases, and practice treatment planning.
• Review of patient selection criteria and applicator selection.

An integrated overview of the concept and practice of Real-time image-guided prostate implants and adaptive planning

• This workshop addresses all aspects (clinical, technical, implementation, and hands-on) necessary for implementing this treatment method in your clinic.
• Participants will focus on implementing the clinical procedure, workflow, and equipment into their practice. On the second day, you will observe a live case

Discussing the successful implementation of Real-time prostate treatments with the faculty

• Clinical method and procedure (clinical indicators, live case, clinical results, procedure, workflow, infrastructure, and equipment)
• Implementation aspects (training requirements, learning curve, milestones, workflow optimization, quality assurance)
• Hands-on training of the Oncentra Prostate real-time planning system
• Applicator preparation and assembly
• Simulation/imaging
• Treatment planning and delivery
