Summary:
The course covers essential aspects of WBRT, including organ-at-risk (OAR) contouring, field placement (with and without contours), and specialized techniques such as Hippocampal Avoidance WBRT (WBRT-HA). Participants will learn best practices, avoid common errors, and gain hands-on experience in treatment planning.

Course Objectives:
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
  • Contour OARs in WBRT while avoiding common errors.
  • Understand the principles of conventional WBRT field placement.
  • Set up WBRT fields with and without pre-defined contours.
  • Apply contouring guidelines for standard WBRT and WBRT-HA.
  • Implement hippocampal sparing techniques in clinical practice.
