The Head and Neck Imaging – Beyond Matching symposium; organised in conjunction with the World Radiography Day.
This symposium aims to bring together radiation therapists from different institutions to share knowledge, expertise and to learn from each other. It also provides an excellent opportunity for radiation therapists to renew existing friendships and forge new relationships.
