Every year, ISRRT implements practical support programs for member countries. The core objective of these programs is to promote the continuous professional development of the technical community in the fields of: radiology, medical imaging and radiotherapy.

Accordingly, in-depth lectures presented by leading experts and scholars in the world provide updated information on advanced treatment methods and diagnostic techniques, along with creating opportunities for international exchange of knowledge and experience.

This year, Vietnam is honored to be the member country selected by ISRRT to implement a specialized training support program on the above topic. This event is organized with the sponsorship and direct professional support from ISRRT, aiming to improve capacity and update specialized knowledge for technicians working in the field of medical imaging and radiotherapy nationwide.

Master, Specialist II Tran Trung Kien, Head of Oncology Department, Shing Mark University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital said: The workshop held at the hospital creates conditions for the hospital's doctors and medical staff to participate.

“After 2 days of working, we were shared and “guided” by experts on the application of artificial intelligence in radiotherapy for cancer patients. From there, we will be able to apply simulation and plan radiotherapy for patients,” Dr. Kien emphasized.

This year’s conference focuses on applying artificial intelligence to help treat patients more accurately and safely. From there, hospitals will have plans to put it into practical application for each unit.
