This joint symposium of the World Molecular Imaging Society (WMIS) and the AAPM includes three luminary speakers discussing work in new paradigms of molecular imaging in cancer (Contag), applications of optical imaging technologies to radiation therapy (Pogue) and an update on PET imaging as a surrogate biomarker for cancer progression and response to therapy. Learning Objectives: 1. Appreciate the current trends in molecular and systems imaging. 2. Understand how optical imaging technologies, and particularly Cerenkov detectors, can be used in advancing radiation oncology. 3. Stay current on new PET tracers – and targets – of interest in cancer treatment.
