1 VMAT/RapidArc COURSE 2016 Medical physicists (in training) - Radiation oncologists (in training) - Engineers and Radiographers Advantages, implementation, know-how of QA 6-8 April 2016, Amsterdam

2 On April 6, 7 and 8 the VMAT/RapidArc Course 2016 will be held at the in Amsterdam (NL). The organization is a joint effort of the departments of Radiotherapy at the and at the VU University Medical Center (VUmc). This course is designed for medical physicists (in training), radiation oncologists (in training) and for engineers and radiographers. During this three day course, advantages achievable by VMAT/ RapidArc, implementation, and know-how of QA will be presented. Aim of the course: To present reviews and to develop understanding of Clinical motivation for radiation treatment by VMAT/RapidArc Points of concern regarding clinical implementation of VMAT/ RapidArc Possibilities and limitations of optimization techniques applied in VMAT/RapidArc-treatment planning Development of general/class solutions for less complex and more complex targets/treatments sites including clinical examples Points of concern regarding the process of translating VMAT/ RapidArc-plans from treatment planning to linac delivery Verification techniques and applicability of phantoms At the end of the course, the topics explained in the course will be discussed in typical, illustrative problems encountered in clinical practice.

3 PROGRAM Wednesday April 6, Registration with coffee and tea Introducing VMAT in your clinic Christoph Schneider, Introducing RapidArc in your clinic Treatment planning of VMAT / RapidArc Optimization in Eclipse/Pinnacle Tomas Janssen, What is a good class solution? Anne Lisa Wolf, Break Steps towards general / class solutions for prostate and rectum in Eclipse at the VUmc in Pinnacle at Netherlands Cancer Institute Anne Lisa Wolf, Lunch Limitations of TPS reg VMAT / RapidArc how to handle Conversion of plan in TPS to plan delivered at linac Anton Mans, Clinical example lung SBRT Heike Peulen, Social dinner

4 PROGRAM Thursday April 7, Radiobiological aspects Peter Sminia, VUmc Clinical example head & neck Marije Vergeer, VUmc Steps towards general / class solutions for head & neck in Eclipse at the VUmc in Pinnacle at Netherlands Cancer Institute Tomas Janssen, Demo of EPIDdosimetry and phantom dosimetry Lunch High dose rate irradiation (TrueBeam / FFF) Johan Cuijpers, VUmc Plan QA for VMAT/RapidArc Marjan Admiraal, VUmc Anton Mans, Linac QA for VMAT/RapidArc Daan Hoffmans, VUmc Help, the dose measured differs from that planned, examples of what to do Marjan Admiraal, VUmc Tomas Janssen and Anton Mans,

5 PROGRAM Friday April 8, 2016 Dosimetry and QA Introduction - QA for VMAT/ RapidArc, why and aiming at what? Johan Cuijpers, VUmc Verification techniques and applicability of phantoms part 1: Octavius Thijs Perik, Delta4 Markus Wendling, Radboudumc MatriXX Daan Hoffmans, VUmc Break Verification techniques and applicability of phantoms part 2: ArcCheck Paul Rietveld, Medisch Centrum Haaglanden Film dosimetry Daan Hoffmans, VUmc Portal dosimetry Anton Mans, Discussion Lunch Discussion of illustrative questions and problems Closing and Drinks
