H06.00001: Advanced Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy for Neurodegenerative Diseases Invited Speaker: Gulin Oz In vivo Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) allows non-invasive quantification of numerous neurochemicals, including markers of neurons and glia, neurotransmitters (glutamate, g-aminobutyric acid), antioxidants (glutathione, vitamin C) and energy metabolites. Regional quantification of these metabolites in the human and animal model brain provides access to multiple aspects of pathology in neurological disorders. This presentation will share our experience in utilizing MRS for detection of early neurochemical changes and for monitoring treatments in neurodegenerative diseases at high field MR scanners. The talk will also address the limitations of standard, commercial clinical MRS tools, which are overcome with advanced MRS software developed in the research setting. Finally, I will demonstrate that advanced MRS methodology can be harmonized across sites and vendors and share our experience in using the advanced technology in multi-site settings. |

H06.00003: Principles and experience with cone-beam CT based online adaptive therapy Invited Speaker: Jennifer M Pursley There is growing clinical evidence supporting adaptive radiotherapy (ART) to reduce the dose to healthy tissues and ensure more accurate delivery of dose to tumors for cancer patients. Technological advancements have made online ART a reality: fast, high-quality imaging combined with artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted auto-contouring and automated planning make it possible to re-optimize a treatment plan for today's anatomy in just a few minutes. In this talk, I will discuss the clinical benefits and challenges of online adaptive therapy. I will also review my institution's first year of experience with the Varian Ethos, a system designed to use cone-beam CT imaging for online ART. |
