The general hospital of Vienna, Medical university of Vienna and one of the leading companies in the field of brachytherapy Nucletron organize a workshop on 3D gynaecological brachytherapy every 3 months in Vienna. One of our group members, Primoz Petric, participates as an invited teacher at this workshops by giving a lecture on »Interobserver variability in contouring«, presenting live cases and assisting the participants in contouring. The workshop is one of the best attended educational events in this field. It represents an important bridge between the industry and clinical routine.

COBISS.SI-ID: 632955Image-guided brachytherapy is still being performed only in a limited number of experienced centers in the world. Institute of Oncology Ljubljana is one of those centers. It is dedicated to education in the field of brachytherapy in Slovenia and world-wide. This guest lecture was dedicated to presentation of modern three-dimensional image-guided brachytherapy, including the practical solutions, developed in the framework of the research project.

COBISS.SI-ID: 650619Since the introduction of 3D imaging in brachyradiotherapy (BRT) it has become evident that it was not possible to adequately treat patients with locally advanced cancer using point-based planning. The solution to this problem was presented by 3D image guided BRT (IGBRT). Various IGBRT solutions have been introduced for different localizations; however particular effort has been invested into the BRT for cervix cancer. This contribution describes the rationale for gynaecological IGBRT with the latest developments in the area of BRT treatment planning.
