Theodore Sunki Hong MD, Presenter: Nothing to Disclose

1) Achieve a basic understanding of the anatomy of hepato bilary region and appearance of hepatic and biliary tumors as seen on imaging studies. 2) Appreciate the differences between imaging techniques, including MRI and CT , as they are used in delineating primary tumor and involved regional nodes. 3) Identify common sites of recurrence for hepatic and biliary cancer and recognize the imaging appearances of these recurrences. 4) Improve radiation therapy delivery through understanding the contouring recommendations for the gross tumor volume (GTV) and clinical target volumes (CTV) for hepatibiliary cancer, both in the locally advanced and post-operative setting. 5) Understand the use of imaging, treatment planning, and treatment delivery techniques to account for respiratory motion.
