A research paper that shares early results from an IAEA funded project evaluates the state of medical physics in diagnostic radiology and image-guided procedures in the Asia-Pacific region has been published in Physical and Engineering Sciences in Medicine.
The study, which had the support of the IAEA and led by Dr Ioannis Delakis, Chair of the radiology speciality group, Australasian College of Physical Scientists and Engineers in Medicine (ACPSEM) and Dr Zoe Brady, Chief Physicist (Diagnostic Imaging) and Radiation Safety Officer at the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne and Chair of the ACPSEM Diagnostic Imaging Certification Panel, Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and ANSTO is the outcome of a Regional Cooperative Agreement the project, 'Improving the quality and safety of diagnostic and interventional radiology services to benefit health care by enhancing the status, knowledge and skills of medical physicists'.
