  • Lectures and hands-on experiences
  • Observations of SBRT simulation and treatment

Day One

  • Physics of SBRT
  • SBRT dosimetry principles
  • PULSAR®
  • Specialty-based break-out groups
  • Machine QA demonstration
  • Billing and documentation
  • Immobilization, setup, and motion management
  • Treatment planning
  • SBRT for lung
  • SBRT for breast

Day Two

  • Tolerance of nervous system
  • SBRT for liver/pancreas
  • SBRT for prostate
  • SBRT for kidney
  • SBRT for spine
  • SBRT for head and neck
  • Treatment planning

Day Three

  • SBRT simulation
  • SBRT treatment observation

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Examine the rationale and basic biology for delivering ablative doses of radiation to demarcated tumors using stereotactic body radiation therapy and image-guided techniques through a didactic and hands-on approach.
  • Describe mature clinical data on which treatment might be indicated on or off protocol.
  • Present treatment delivery options for both large and small centers interested in starting a clinical SBRT program.
  • Describe and perform simulations and observe SBRT treatments.
  • Describe quality assurance and regulatory compliance requirements for carrying out a clinical SBRT program.
