METHODS

Teaching: 40 hours of classes and 9 hours of practical workshops.
Instruction takes place on a Thursday and Friday every other month from November to May.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF KNOWLEDGE CONTROL

• The jury sends a file including three clinical cases with the different images and the centering scanner in DICOM-RT format to be returned by the student before the end of August with the contours and the dosimetry (Benchmark Case principle),
• Oral exams may be held in September if results are judged insufficient by the jury.
