DESCRIPTION:Quality assurance Workshop\n \nThis hands-on workshop is one 
 of the four specialised training events within the UPLIFT. This workshop p
 rovides a practical and theoretical introduction to quality assurance (QA)
  methodologies essential for modern radiotherapy\, with a specific focus o
 n the unique challenges and opportunities presented by upright patient pos
 itioning.\nWorkshop Overview\nParticipants will gain foundational knowledg
 e and practical skills across three core areas:\n1. Photon QA: The princi
 ples of quality assurance for photon-based radiotherapy\, covering dosimet
 ric measurements\, beam characterisation\, and verification procedures. Em
 phasis will be placed on understanding how QA protocols may need to be ada
 pted when transitioning from conventional supine to upright treatment geom
 etries.\n2. Proton QA: Specific QA requirements of proton beam therapy\, 
 including range verification\, dose delivery accuracy\, and the physical p
 roperties that distinguish proton beams from photon beams. Discussion on h
 ow upright positioning influences proton therapy planning and delivery\, a
 nd what this means for QA workflows\, will follow.\n3. 3D Printing of Phan
 toms: 3D printing technology in the fabrication of custom phantoms for ra
 diotherapy QA\, including material selection\, design considerations\, and
  the role of patient-specific and anthropomorphic phantoms in validating t
 reatment plans.\nLearning Outcomes\nBy the end of the workshop\, participa
 nts will be able to:\n\nUnderstand the fundamental principles of photon an
 d proton QA in a radiotherapy context\nIdentify the QA challenges specific
  to upright radiotherapy delivery\nAppreciate the role of 3D-printed phant
 oms as flexible\, cost-effective tools for dosimetric verification\nEngage
  critically with QA literature and protocols relevant to the UPLIFT resear
 ch programme\n\n\nhttps://indico.fjfi.cvut.cz/event/497/
