Exchanges will include the discussion of new trends in medical uses of radiation, such as using artificial intelligence in medical imaging and therapy, which can accelerate research to reduce patient radiation doses and calls for quality assurance programmes, interdisciplinary collaboration, and consideration of ethics, patient privacy and data security. Participants will also discuss ways to help raise the voices of patients in relation to their own healthcare plan.
The conference will provide a platform for enhanced networking opportunities among health professionals, including physicians practising in radiological imaging, nuclear medicine and radiotherapy, referring medical practitioners, medical physicists, medical radiation technologists and regulatory authorities.
Contributors interested in submitting a poster for the conference can find the topics of interest here, which includes areas such as the justification for the use of radiation in medicine, radiation protection of patients and staff in various diagnostic and therapeutic modalities and in interventional procedures, learning from unintended and accidental exposures in medicine, and strengthening radiation safety culture in healthcare.
This year’s Radiation Protection in Medicine conference is the third in the series, with the earlier ones hosted in 2017 and 2012.
