Dear Friends and Colleagues,

 

It is my pleasure to invite you to the “ASEAN College of Medical Physics (ACOMP) Workshop on Radiation Dosimetry II: Physics & Applications of Solid State and OSL Dosimetry", to be held on 6 December 2017 at the Department of Biomedical Imaging, University of Malaya Medical Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

  

The workshop is co-organized by the University of Malaya and Institute of Physics, Malaysia (IFM). The program is supported by the Southeast Asian Federations of Organizations for Medical Physics (SEAFOMP) and Ministry of Health (MOH), Malaysia. 
  
Advancement in the semiconductor industry has led to the production of many new solid state devices that are used as radiation dosimeters. Solid state devices has interesting dosimetric characteristics such as high sensitivities at much smaller sensitive volumes, real time fast readout pushes the frontiers of radiation dosimetry. However, it is crucial to understand the physics and limitations of these devices in order to perform accurate dosimetry. This 1-day radiation dosimetry workshop aims to provide the basic physics and hand-on experience related to the use of novel solid state dosimeters including optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dosimetry. The workshop is going to be conducted in the format of lectures, demonstration, simulations and practical (hands on). CME/CPD points will be applied and is subjected to the approval from the Ministry of Health.

   

The target audiences of the workshop include medical physicists, radiographers, technologists, researchers, radiation oncologists, biomedical engineer, dosimetrists, and those who are interested in the field of radiation dosimetry.    
 
We very much look forward to your presence at this workshop. Your participation will definitely make this event more meaningful.
  
Thank you.
  

Yours Sincerely,

 

Jeannie Hsiu-Ding Wong
