Description

INSIGHTS workshop, INnovative Systems In radiation therapy: breakthrouGHs novel detectors, Treatments and AI techniqueS.

 

The presentations given by each speaker during the conference are accessible in the author's slot within the Timetable section, located in the menu bar on your left.

 

The first edition of the INSIGHTS workshop will take place at the Department of Physics of our institute in Pisa, Italy, from 18th to 20th October 2023. Our workshop aims to attract and connect high-level international experts and young researchers from prestigious institutes and universities in the fields of medical physics, radiobiology and biomedical engineering.

The three-day event will bring together the scientific community to discuss the fields of hadron therapy boron neutron capture therapy and FLASH therapy. The main topics will focus both on the clinical, hardware and software aspects of these therapies: technological tools for dosimetry and beam diagnostic, innovative solutions for adaptive clinical trials and artificial intelligence algorithms will be deeply discussed.

 

Young researchers are heartily invited to apply for a contribution. No FEE payment is required

For more information contact the chairperson, Martina Moglioni at martina.moglioni@phd.unipi.it.
