ICRM2020 - Medical Physics Track

CAMPEP

No single applicant can claim this total number of hours as they are distributed among all the tracks of medical physics in parallel sessions.
The tracks include the pre-ICRM physics review course and the MEFOMP medical physics workshop that occur pre-ICRM.
On the day of registration, go to the desk titled “CAMPEP” to pick up the evaluation forms. Those forms have to be filled out per attended session and given back at the end of day.
Your attendance in the sessions will be verified.
Claiming credits for two parallel coinciding sessions will not be allowed.

Description

The MP track covers topics related to the clinical practice of medical physics for the 3 specialties; Radiation therapy, imaging and nuclear medicine. Many lectures are associated with hands-on workshops that expand on the didactic knowledge and illustrates clinical setup and measurements. Look for specialized session themes and days. Sessions and workshops of common interests are combined with other tracks such as Nuclear Medicine, Radiation Oncology, Health Physics and Radiation Therapy Technologists. These multi-disciplinary sessions provide a venue for the medical physicists to interact with colleagues from different professions.

The MP track is also running a 2-day Medical Physics review course. The course has CMEs and is intended as a review for clinical physicists.

Venue: MRI-Sim Room, B1, KACOLD
Maximum Capacity: 10
Coordinator: Umar Mwidu
Instructor: Umar Mwidu, Habeeb AlSaleh, Ahmad Qattan and Wafa Alenazi
Workshop description:
This workshop augments a series of lectures on the use of MR in Oncology that will be presented in the conference. We will go over the different quality assurance procedures that are specific to Magnetic Resonance Simulators, discuss some of our site specific imaging protocols and how they are adapted to suit the needs of radiation treatment planning. Finally a brief discussion about the implementation of an MR-only simulation program will be covered.

Objectives:

To understand MR-simulation workflow.
To perform required QA procedures for MR simulators in a radiation oncology setup
To review the implementation of MR-only treatment planning.
