This educational activity will provide case-based education on neuroanatomic contouring for the two most common brain tumors seen in radiation oncology practice: brain metastases and glioma.  Attendees will be asked to contour tumor targets for intact brain metastases, a resected brain metastasis, and a resected glioblastoma.  They will also be asked to contour radiosensitive normal tissue structures, including the hippocampal dentate gyrus, the optic chiasm/nerves, the brainstem, the cochlea, and the lenses.  Through this practice and didactic feedback, attendees will learn principles of neuroanatomic contouring that better equips theme to radiotherapeutically manage primary and metastatic brain tumor patients.

This webinar was sponsored by the ROI Juan A. del Regato Fund.
