Winter School “Dosimetry Guided Treatment Planning for Radionuclide Therapy”
Program
The school targets medical physicists, physicians and technologists involved and interested in the workflow of clinical dosimetry in support to radionuclide therapy. The aim of the school is to present bases of quantitative imaging and dosimetry methodologies to support patient-based dose planning and verification in clinic. The school also aims to promote a common/shared knowledge and cooperation of different partners involved (physicians, physicists and technologists).
Research and commercial solutions to assist quantitative imaging and dosimetry workflows will be also presented and discussed.

Auf Grund der Pandemielage sehen wir uns leider nicht in der Lage, die Winterschule in Pichl im Jahre 2021 planen und durchführen zu können. Schweren Herzens müssen wir die Winterschule absagen. Die Gesundheit der Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer steht für uns im Vordergrund und wir können derzeit keine Planungssicherheit für März 2021 herbeiführen.
Wir werden die Veranstaltung aber nachholen und freuen uns auf ein Wiedersehen in Pichl im Jahr 2022.
