Topical Report - Current molecular radiotherapy service provision and guidance on the implications of setting up a dosimetry service
Published by the Institute of Physics Publishing Ltd on behalf of IPEM
The aims of this report were to assess the main reasons why centres are not performing MRT dosimetry and provide advice on the resources required to set-up such a service. A survey based in the United Kingdom was developed to establish how many centres provide an MRT dosimetry service and the main reasons why it is not commonly performed. Published: December 2020
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.
