[Philipp Steininger]

Hi,

if you are a researcher / developer in the field of radiotherapy (or
similar), please have a look at the following information:


IGRT Salzburg 2011 - Call for Abstracts
========================

Submit and register here:
www.igrt-salzburg2011.org<https://mail.pmu.ac.at/owa/redir.aspx?C=80c669d9e65d49c9993148a1e3cbab69&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.igrt-salzburg2011.org>

IGRTSalzburg 2011 aims at bringing national and international scientists in
image guided radiotherapy together in order to present, demonstrate and
discuss recent advances in this fast evolving field. Besides traditional
lectures / posters, we focus on clinical onsite (radART institute) and live
software demonstrations in an interactive workshop atmosphere. We invite you
to submit your abstract for presentation or workshop demonstration dealing
with, but not limited to:

    2D / 3D image registration / tracking
    Medical image registration / segmentation
    Model-based approaches (shape, appearance)
    Cone-beam CT (3D / 4D)
    Marker detection for organ tracking
    Flexmap calibration approaches
    Adaptive IGRT approaches
    Margin analyses
    Optical surface scanning
    4D applications: gating /  tracking
    US-based systems
    Electro-magnetic transponder systems
    EPID: hybrid imaging, in-vivo dosimetry, gas electron multipliers vs.
aSi:H
    Workflow solutions, record & verify
    Intra-fractional correction approaches
    Robotic solutions for radiotherapy
    Open-source toolkits for radiotherapy

We will have a conference dinner on Dec 6th and visit the Salzburger
"Christkindlmarkt".


Key note lectures:

- Balancing tumor healing and side effects: a history perspective, Fridtjof
Nüsslin (Munich, World)
- Imaging for Proton Therapy: Current State and Future Goals, Gregory C.
Sharp, Brian Winey (Boston, USA)
- Perspectives of Image Fusion and Realtime Registration in Image-Guided
Radiotherapy, Wolfgang Birkfellner (Vienna, AUSTRIA)
- Probabilistic aspects in treatment planning, Uwe Oelfke, Simeon Nill
(Heidelberg, GERMANY)
- Adaptive IGRT with Next Generation Record and Verify Systems, Heinz
Deutschmann (Salzburg, AUSTRIA)


NOTE:

Only a limited number of participants can register for the conference. If
the limit is reached, you can still register for a place on the waiting
list, you will be notified as soon as a place is available. Presenters are
preferred!

There are three different presentation mode options:

- workshop contribution (you will have a own table and presentation
environment – e.g. a laptop – and present your work interactively to
conference attendees who will be periodically guided to your table; there is
enough space for discussion and live demonstration of your work; if
applicable, bring software and phantoms with you, we will have access to an
Elekta Synergy linear accelerator and a Siemens Somatom Emotion CT with 4D
option)

- oral presentation (power point presentation in the lecture room)

- poster presentation (printed DIN A0 or A1 poster of your work will be
placed on dedicated walls)  *

Best regards,
