The seminar includes lectures on the basic principles of proton beam therapy, proton beam clinical trials, and practical discussions through case-based vignettes with experienced proton beam faculty. The interactive workshop allows for faculty to share how proton beam therapy is implemented in our clinic with hands-on demonstrations of patient immobilization at CT simulation, treatment planning and evaluation, image-guided radiation therapy, IGRT and beam delivery, including comprehensive QA.
