Operations Research in Radiation Oncology Workshop

The early bird registration is now extended to 21st January, 2009

** Program schedule has been updated as of 9th February, 2009

Venue:  Lecture Theatre 12, Building X, Melbourne Campus, Deakin University, 221 Burwood Highway, Melbourne, Vic 3125, Australia

Date:     16th - 18th February, 2009

Radiotherapy has saved many lives in the last few decades. In the last decade, the optimization problem related to the treatment planning of radiotherapy has been an active research area for Mathematicians and Medical Physicists. The goals are to improve the accuracy and reduce the trial-and-error nature of the treatment plans, and to improve the computational efficiency of planning calculations. The aim of this workshop is to promote communications among researchers of various disciplines, and communications between researchers and practitioners by bringing together Mathematicians, Medical Physicists, and the industry stakeholders to enhance the exchange of knowledge, skills, and promote breakthroughs.
