Taking high-tech home: lessons of RSNA 2006
Bradley M.Tipler
For reasons unbeknownst to me, I attended the annual oration in radiation oncology today, something that I have never done. The talk, "Looking beyond anatomy-based treatment in radiation oncology" by Dr. Theodore Lawrence, was thankfully short on radiation physics. It was an interesting assessment of where rad-onc is and where it is going. Lawrence noted with irony that after 30 years of separation between radiation oncology and diagnostic radiology, the two fields are merging as functional imaging grows.
