The “ Advances in Radiomicrosphere Therapy (RMT) Workshop”  has been organized as a satellite symposium at the “Advances in Minimally Invasive Treatments (MIT)International Congress” The congress has allocated a half a day session on the management of primary and metastatic liver cancer utilizing minimally invasive approaches. This session provides a through overview of contemporary techniques employed in the treatment of liver malignancies. The workshop will be held in the afternoon following this general session. The registration to the workshop will be in conjunction with a one-day registration to the MIT congress. Registrants will be able to attend the general morning session as well as the workshop.

The objective of the workshop is to present the current clinical data and technical information on Y-90 radiomicrosphere therapy in depth. The topics of discussion will focus on clinical management of complicated cases using interventional radiology strategies, comprehensive treatment planning techniques and dosimetry. The workshop will also provide product-specific (glass and resin microspheres) application guidelines as well as new technology on image analysis/processing software used for clinical treatment planning/dosimetry and new diagnostic and therapeutic products at investigational stages.

At the completion of the workshop the participants will be able to understand the importance of multidisciplinary interaction in RMT, the technical challenges in the clinical applications of RMT and strategies to resolve them, and new technology utilized in the improvement of diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

The workshop welcomes interventional radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians, radiation oncologists, medical and surgical oncologists, scientists and technologists in the nuclear radiology and physics fields and all other professionals who have interest in radiomicrosphere therapy
