WELCOME MESSAGE

Dear friends and colleagues,

It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to Montreal for the 19th International Conference on the use of Computers in Radiation Therapy, ICCR 2019, and for the companion 2nd International Conference on Monte Carlo techniques for Medical Applications, MCMA 2019.

Owing to the prominence of computational techniques in the planning and delivery of radiotherapy, the ICCR is considered by many to be one of the most in�uential conferences in the radiation therapy �eld. It is traditionally the forum where the unveiling, presentation and discussion of the next ten years of technologies, algorithms, and techniques takes place. As we look forward to the next ten years, deep learning, AI, and big data loom large. It is thus very �tting that we should discuss these topics in Montreal, a global hub for AI research.

Special at this edition of ICCR is the tandem organization at the same site of a sister conference, MCMA 2019, taking place from June 19-21, 2019. This is the second conference of a series which started in 2017 in Napoli, Italy, following previous meetings in Montreal, Canada in 2001, 2004, 2007, 2011; in Ghent, Belgium in 2006; in Cardi�, UK in 2009; in Seville, Spain in 2012; and in Québec City, Canada in 2014. The MCMA conference series brings together international experts from the clinic, industry and academia who are active in the various �elds of Monte Carlo simulations in medicine. The co-organization of MCMA with ICCR brings added-value to both conferences.

Both the ICCR and MCMA International Scienti�c Committees, populated by outstanding scientists from across the world, have worked diligently to help us identify the conference topics, select the invited speakers and review the

abstracts. With their help, we believe we are able to present a relevant and exciting menu of scienti�c sessions across the broad range of computational techniques in radiation therapy and Monte Carlo applications in medicine.

Our local organizing committee has been busy since immediately after ICCR 2016 in London. Indeed, we are very grateful to the ICCR 2016 team for sharing their insight and providing seed funding at the outset. This helped us get started. More recently, we have been joined by International Conference Services who have provided us with outstanding professional support and have taken on the heavy lifting.

The conference venue, the DoubleTree by Hilton, is located in the Places des Arts district of downtown Montreal. It is a dynamic area and the home of many of Montreal’s famous summer festivals. We are excited that our conference coincides with the Francos de Montreal festival and we hope that you have the opportunity to attend some of the free outdoor concerts at the hotel doorstep.

Finally, we take this opportunity to thank all who have contributed to the preparation of these conferences–the local and scienti�c committees, International Conference Services, our sponsors, and you, our delegates, who have taken the time to submit high-quality abstracts and travelled from 26 countries to share your experience and learn from each other.

Bienvenue à Montréal !
