This advanced clinical training program is designed to present the processes required to implement Sterotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) / Radiosurgery (SRS) utilizing Elekta Axesse™ and other Elekta linear accelerators stereotactic capabilities.

CONTENT

• Understand dose selection, fractionation and planning techniques

• Become familiar with imaging requirements (pre/post treatment)

• Practice setup and verification

• Observe and discuss delivery of SBRT/SRS

• Increase confidence to implement SBRT/SRS  into routine clinical practice

• Provide theoretical background to Stereotaxy and dose escalation/ hypofractionation

• Demonstrate the use of Elekta SBRT systems for target localization

• Practical session in patient setup, positioning and immobilization

• Dose selection, fractionation and planning techniques
