4D Workshop for Particle Therapy

The workshop took place at the MD Anderson Proton Therapy Center, Texas, USA, from Friday, Oct. 21 to Saturday, Oct. 22.

The in-person 4D Workshop brought together global speakers in presentations about new trends in 4D clinical practice, 4D treatment planning, 4D imaging and 4D dosimetry.

Training sessions

• Clinical perspective on 4D proton therapy
• Physicist’s perspective on 4D proton therapy
• Clinical implementation of the treatment of moving targets
• ART – From offline to online to real-time
• Potential of particle imaging for 4D particle therapy
• 4DMRI: Sensing the motion uncertainty
• Beyond 4DCT: It’s about time
• AI-Assisted 4D and real-time imaging for radiotherapy treatment planning and delivery
• Impact of respiratory motion on proton PBS FLASH radiotherapy
• Motion management for the carbon ion beam therapy and FLASH beam delivery
• 4D Motion mitigation techniques

Poster competition

All participants were invited to submit an abstract to contribute to our poster session.

This was a unique opportunity to contribute to a special issue in the PhiRO journal. The three highest-ranking abstracts earned a free publication in this special 4D workshop issue.
