Team Aussie 🇦🇺 at #ReCOG. Definitely lots of collective work/ opportunities (eg reirradiation registry) to improve ReRT Down Under! @HardcastleNick @RANZCRCollege

It’s a full house as we kick off this international effort to tackle the complex problem of re-irradiation. Thank you to our guests and experts from around the world to @UMich. Thrilled to host this incredibly important event! @ASTRO_org @aapmHQ @ESTRO_RT @UMichRadOnc

What happens when you ask 24 centres to evaluate cumulative dose for the same #ReIrradiation cases? A lot of discrepancy, that's what you get! Our paper on intercentre variation in reirradiation dose accumulation is out @RadiotherapyOn1 sciencedirect.com/science/ar… #radonc #medphys

Public data is adequate for AI segmentation of many head & neck organs, performance can be improved with the addition of institutional data. Interesting work on differences in AI trained with publicly available or institutional data. @HardcastleNick aapm.onlinelibrary.wiley.com…

We know that #ReIrradiation is super challenging - especially estimating cumulative doses to normal tissues. There is no standard approach, and people use many different methods in clinical practice; from point max dose sums to full 3D dose mapping #medphys #radonc #ESTRO23

Are you in the Dose Accumulation & Dose Prediction session? If not, why not??? You need to hear about our study of intercentre variation in re-irradiation dose accumulation! @elivaos and I will be doing a double act 🎭 #ESTRO23 #radonc #medphys

Thanks to @CancerVic for the support of our upright RT project. We plan to improve comfort of #RT through better patient positioning. Looking forward to working with multi-d team and our patients and consumers such as @WinterLora to make this happen @PeterMacRadOnc

Soon cancer patients will receive radiotherapy in a more comfortable position as part of a new @PeterMacCC project through a $3.9 million dollar funding from @CancerVic's research grant program. Read more in our media release: ccvic.org/35JRl0b

what a great way to kick off #SABR2019. @CGlideHurst with a really thorough overview from the frontlines of online adaptive RT with #mrlinac. Lots of interdisciplinary collab to make this happen each fraction but clearly worth it
