Breathing Control for Motion Management Symposium

Endorsed by ESTRO

 

Join us in Birmingham, UK, as the global radiotherapy community comes together to shape the next chapter in breathing motion management.

Breathing motion management has become one of the most transformative areas in modern radiotherapy, redefining precision, adaptability, and patient-centred care. As techniques evolve and technologies advance, one thing remains clear: meaningful progress is driven by shared expertise and collaboration.

Reflecting this commitment to collective innovation, the Breathing Control for Motion Management in Radiotherapy and Imaging Conference will take place in Birmingham on 16–17 April 2026, hosted by University Hospitals Birmingham.

Across the field, teams are advancing innovative approaches to stabilising and understanding respiratory motion, from extended breath-hold techniques to controlled ventilation and physiology-driven breathing strategies. These developments reflect a growing recognition that effective motion management lies at the heart of delivering accurate, reproducible, and personalised radiotherapy.

The 2026 conference is designed to harness this momentum. It will bring together experts from around the world who are redefining what is possible through advances in breathing control, motion stabilisation, and physiology-informed treatment delivery. Delegates will explore emerging technologies, hear from leading researchers, and engage in multidisciplinary discussions that will span clinical practice, physics, engineering, and patient experience.

The programme places a strong emphasis on open dialogue, practical learning, and the exchange of ideas that can be translated directly into improved patient care. Rather than promoting a single technique or philosophy, the meeting celebrates the diversity of approaches that shape this rapidly evolving field, and the shared ambition that unites them.

Birmingham is proud to host a conference that reflects the creativity, curiosity, and collaborative energy of the global motion management community. As respiratory motion management continues to advance, this meeting offers a special opportunity to connect, contribute, and help to shape the future together.

The future of respiratory motion management is being written now, and Birmingham is where the next chapter begins.
