IPEM Code of Practice for high-energy photon therapy dosimetry based on the NPL absorbed dose calibration service
Published by the Institute of Physics Publishing Ltd on behalf of IPEM
This work aims to assess the efficacy of x-ray quality assurance tests undertaken on fluoroscopy units in the UK. Information was gathered on the results of image quality tests recommended by the reports of the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine, and those additionally undertaken by medical physics departments.

Scope
The development and application of theoretical, computational and experimental physics to medicine, physiology and biology. Topics covered are:
- therapy physics (including ionizing and non-ionizing radiation)
- biomedical imaging (e.g. x-ray, magnetic resonance, ultrasound, optical and nuclear imaging)
- image-guided interventions
- image reconstruction and analysis (including kinetic modelling)
- artificial intelligence in biomedical physics and analysis
- nanoparticles in imaging and therapy
- radiobiology
- radiation protection and patient dose monitoring
- radiation dosimetry
Papers on physics with no obvious medical or biological applications, or papers which are almost entirely clinical or biological in their approach are not acceptable.
