G4 MR in Radiotherapy & MR linac

The course will run from 18 March through 21 March 2024.

This is a hybrid course. Most of the content will be offered as e-learning modules and/or recorded lectures. These will be made available through https://www.mrinradiotherapy.com at the start of the course and can be followed at your own convenience. The course ends with 3 days in Utrecht. During these days there will be lectures, Q&A sessions, clinical implementation workshops, planning/contouring workshops and MRI sequence development workshops. In addition, there will also be demonstrators of workflows on the MRI Simulators and MR-Linac.

There is a wide variety of technical and clinical topics. You can choose to take a deep dive into the topics most relevant to you and only take the essentials from topics less relevant to your needs.
