Curso Regional de Capacitación para la Actualización de la Braquiterapia de Alta Tasa de Dosis

4 Sept 2017, 08:00 → 8 Sept 2017, 18:00 America/Santiago

El objetivo de este curso introductorio es ofrecer a los participantes una actualización en braquiterapia de alta tasa de dosis con el fin de mejorar su conocimiento y la práctica asistencial en sus centros de procedencia. El curso constará de clases teóricas y ejercicios prácticos. Se pretende que después del curso los participantes sean capaces de implementar en la práctica clínica los conocimientos adquiridos.

Después de asistir a este curso los participantes habrán adquirido conocimientos teóricos y prácticos acerca de la implementación de braquiterapia de alta tasa de dosis y de los procedimientos de aseguramiento de la calidad y seguridad del paciente.

Los tópicos que se cubrirán durante el curso serán los siguientes:

• Revisión de la justificación del uso de la braquiterapia en la práctica clínica
• Radiobiología de la braquiterapia
• Selección de equipamiento en braquiterapia HDR
• Calibración de fuentes
• Planificación del tratamiento
• Herramientas de imagen para la realización del implante, simulación y administración del tratamiento
• Procedimientos de aseguramiento de la calidad
