Garchinger Maier-Leibnitz-Kolloquium: "See what you treat and treat what you see”: Imaging as the Key to Personalized Radiotherapy

by Prof. Julia Bauer (Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin)

Thursday 24 Jul 2025, 16:15 → 17:15 Europe/Berlin

Lecture hall, ground floor (west) (LMU building, Am Coulombwall 1, campus Garching)

Advances in medical imaging have consistently reshaped cancer treatment by enabling more precise and personalized radiotherapy approaches. This talk will highlight the essential role physics—especially imaging physics—plays in improving radiation therapy for individual patients. We will explore how modern imaging techniques support accurate tumor localization, treatment planning, and adaptive therapy strategies. Particular focus will be given to recent progress in image-guided particle therapy, a cutting-edge modality that leverages physical principles for enhanced treatment accuracy. Additionally, we will discuss the challenges of integrating these technological innovations into routine clinical practice and describe ongoing research aimed at overcoming these barriers. Together, these efforts are driving a new era of cancer treatment that is safer, more effective, and uniquely tailored to each patient’s disease.
