The 10th Annual Loma Linda Workshop
Uniting Disciplines for Advanced Medical Physics Research: A Decade of Innovation and Collaboration
The Tenth Annual Loma Linda Workshop on Particle Imaging and Radiation Treatment Planning will take place in person or on Zoom from July 29-31, 2024. Save the date
Scope
The summer workshops at Loma Linda University started in 2015 as interdisciplinary meetings that bring together applied mathematicians, computer scientists, medical physicists, radiobiologists, and radiation oncologists. These workshops have fostered several successful research projects and collaborations that continue to this day. This year, we aim to build on this legacy and inspire new breakthroughs in the field.
Information about previous Loma Linda workshops can be found here.
In-person participation
While participation via Zoom is possible, we believe in the added value of in-person participation. Being physically present allows for spontaneous discussions and collaborations, which are at the heart of our Loma Linda Workshops. Therefore, we encourage you to join us in person in Loma Linda this year. Rest assured; all necessary COVID-19 safety measures will be in place to ensure a safe and productive environment for all attendees.
Topics
Our workshop will cover a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:
- Mathematical/AI algorithms that can be used for particle imaging and intensity modulated particle therapy or radiation imaging and therapy in general.
- Large scale computing and big data management for particle imaging and intensity modulated particle therapy or radiation imaging and therapy in general.
- Optimization/superiorization methods for particle imaging and intensity modulated particle therapy or radiation imaging and therapy in general.
- Monte Carlo simulation techniques for modeling interactions at multiple scales for particle imaging and intensity modulated particle therapy or radiation imaging and therapy in general.
- Novel hardware for particle imaging and intensity modulated particle therapy or radiation imaging and therapy in general.
- Methods for motion management and adaptation in particle imaging and intensity modulated particle therapy or radiation imaging and therapy in general.
- Novel ways of enhancing particle imaging and intensity modulated particle therapy or radiation imaging and therapy in general, including but not limited to gold nanoparticles and FLASH radiation therapy.
- An update on new facilities for particle imaging and intensity modulated particle therapy or neutron capture therapy.
