DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Katia Parodi (Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich
 \, Germany)\nSince the establishment of the first few hospital-based facil
 ities in the 1990s\, ion beam therapy has rapidly emerged as a promising r
 adiation therapy modality\, due to its superior ability to concentrate the
  beam energy to the tumour while better sparing normal tissue and critical
  organs in comparison to the widely established photon therapy. However\, 
 to enable full clinical exploitation of its advantageous ballistic precisi
 on and advanced beam delivery strategies\, novel solutions of in-room imag
 e guidance are warranted to provide accurate information of the patient po
 sition and tissue properties prior to treatment for adaptive therapy schem
 es\, along with in-vivo range verification during or after treatment towar
 d the final goal of dose-guided radiation therapy. This talk will review l
 atest imaging innovations in ion beam therapy\, which are just entering th
 e clinic or are being investigated for possible clinical use in the near f
 uture\, with special focus on new instrumentation largely exploiting techn
 ologies well established in high-energy physics\, nuclear physics and acou
 stics.\n\nhttps://indico.koza.if.uj.edu.pl/event/1/contributions/52/
