What if one imaging technique could transform the way we see and plan? At Hospital del Mar in Barcelona, Medical Physicist Enric Fernandez-Velilla Cepriá and his team bring that vision to life by making Dual Energy CT (DECT) a standard in head and neck radiotherapy. DECT has become an essential tool for improving confidence in treatment planning.  

Dr. Fernandez-Velilla Cepriá will share how this technology helps clinicians see more and offer support.  It helps distinguish subtle tissue differences, refine dose calculations, and open the door to truly personalized radiotherapy. Building on years of clinical experience and research into monoenergetic imaging and dosimetry, he will also explore what comes next: dual-scan protocols, broader clinical integration, and the path toward smarter, image-guided radiotherapy for every patient. See beyond the standard scan and discover how DECT is redefining precision in Head and Neck Radiotherapy. 


After viewing this webinar, participants should be able to:

•        Understand the principles and clinical value of dual energy CT in radiation therapy. 

•        Evaluate the benefits of monoenergetic imaging for dose calculation and treatment planning. 

•        Recognize how dual energy imaging supports PTV contouring and delineation practices. 

•        Explore strategies for integrating dual energy imaging in radiotherapy across a clinical setting.
