Program Format
The Current State of the Art Techniques for IMRT, IGRT and SBRT Symposium is a two-and-a-half-day meeting focusing on disease site specific radiation therapy treatment from planning to delivery. It will be presented through didactic lectures, panels, breakout sessions and interactive sessions.

 

PowerPoint Presentations
PowerPoint presentations for each session will be available approximately two weeks before the meeting as released for inclusion by the presenter. Presentations may be downloaded by clicking the faculty member’s name.
