Program Summary

CT Technology continues to evolve with modern platforms designed for radiation therapy (XRT) with advanced applications supporting comprehensive diagnoses, precise treatment plans and better patient outcomes. XRT is guided by CT Simulation which can be obstructed due to metal implants beam hardening artifacts. Metal Artifact Reduction (MAR) is a projection-based reconstruction technique that restores anatomical details obscured by metal during conventional image reconstruction and automatically improves images for increased clinical confidence.

In this accredited Expert Forum Webinar, Yashbir Mehta,MD, shares insights into the advanced CT Simulation techniques supporting the improvement of XRT treatment planning accuracy and specificity of tumor volumes. These advanced features are supported by a clinical review of cases demonstrating improved treatment plans, thus impacting patient management and care.
