Together with our partner Varay, we are pleased to invite you to our Israel User Meeting in HERZLIYA ON SEA in Tel Aviv.
This meeting is an opportunity for clinicians, medical physicists and radiation oncologists to share clinical techniques and discuss management approaches, tools and Big Data insights in primary and metastatic oncological radiotherapy treatment.
We are thrilled to have the chance to reconnect with you in person.
We look forward to receiving and sharing your anonymized patient cases to be discussed with an extended network of experts in the field of SRS & SBRT.
Ron Alterman, MD, from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston discusses operating room workflows and the benefits of intraoperative CT and Elements software for lead placement confirmation in deep brain stimulation (DBS) treatments. He begins by outlining the “classical” surgical technique for DBS including having to transport the patient to radiology for imaging. He then delves into his institution’s acquisition of Airo intraoperative mobile CT and their use of Elements planning software and subsequent awake surgery with these technologies. He then provides some specific examples of case results as well as his overall data, including a decrease in procedure time, over cases performed.
Volker Arnd Coenen, MD, Neurosurgeon from the University Medical Center Freiburg, Germany, presents how his institution is advancing workflows for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery and discusses current advanced imaging technologies. Specifically, he discusses tremor and in more detail the treatment of major depression. He then delves into how machine learning has aided personalized DTI tractographic planning for DBS of the superolateral Medial Forebrain Bundle (MFB) with hierarchical harmonic filters for learning tracts from diffusion MRI (HAMLET).
