This is a 1 1/2 day course for Radiation Oncologists, Urologists, Medical Physicists, Dosimetrists and Nurses interested in permanent seed implantation using the latest, most up-to-date methods that control for implant quality while the case is in progress.
This course will cover material needed for performing this technique, as well as all aspects of prostate brachytherapy, from patient selection and setting up an implant program, to post-implant dosimetry and patient follow- up.
This course is the first of its kind in the USA teaching this new dynamic dosimetry technique. In addition to the didactic sessions, the course will include a practical, hands-on session of permanent implant techniques on phantom prostates, followed by a closed-circuit TV observation of our implant procedure. Physicists, dosimetrists and nurses will have a special breakout session on dosimetry and planning, and OR setup.
