This is the first training course on this subject jointly being organized by the ICTP and the IAEA at the renowned The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste, Italy.
The aim of this course is to provide advanced knowledge to meet the increasing need of radiation protection of patients undergoing diagnostic and therapeutic radiological procedures.
The course will:
- disseminate information on challenges in estimating radiation dose to the patients in different diagnostic and interventional procedures and compare doses with international standards
- train participants in justification and optimization to reduce patient doses without affecting diagnostic quality
- facilitate the creation of a network for the exchange of information on medical radiation protection among medical physicists in developing and developed Member States.
PARTICIPATION
This course would seek to target experienced medical physicists working in hospitals in imaging departments and teachers involved in medical physics education to radiology residents. Scientists and students from all countries which are members of the United Nations, UNESCO or IAEA may attend the course. As it will be conducted in English, participants should have an adequate working knowledge of this language. Although the main purpose of the Centre is to help research workers from developing countries, through a programme of training activities within a framework of international cooperation, students and post-doctoral scientists from developed countries are also welcome to attend.
As a rule, travel and subsistence expenses of the participants should be borne by the home institution. Every effort should be made by candidates to secure support for their fare (or at least half-fare). However, limited funds are available for some participants from developing countries, to be selected by the organizers. There is no registration fee.
