TODAY: Special Medical Physics Seminar on New Breakthroughs

[Infopoint]

We are thrilled to announce a highly anticipated seminar dedicated to the
historical evolution, current breakthroughs, and future frontiers of
medical physics.
"Evolution and Advances in Medical Physics in Healthcare”
with Prof. Indra J. Das, PhD, Professor, Vice Chair, and Director of
Medical Physics at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine,
Chicago, entitled:
TODAY 15:00 CEST, Friday 16th October 2026, in the Stasi Room and online.
Zoom registration: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/0rUIJtuQROOcTEJNBdVPLQ
Event Overview:
Prof. Das will take us on a fascinating journey, starting from the
pioneering discoveries of early Nobel laureates (from X-rays to
radioactivity) and moving all the way to modern, life-saving healthcare
paradigms. This talk offers a unique perspective on how applied physics
continues to revolutionize radiation oncology, diagnostics, and direct
patient care.
Key Topics Covered:
• Innovations in Radiation Therapy: From dosimetry evolution (IMRT) to
advanced proton therapy (spot scanning and IMPT), and cutting-edge
delivery systems like MR-Linac, CyberKnife, and TomoTherapy.
• Frontier Technologies: The transformative role of Artificial
Intelligence, Radiomics, and Personalized Medicine in today's clinical
practice.
• Molecular & Advanced Imaging: State-of-the-art clinical applications for
treatment optimization, including CT-PET fusion, Cherenkov imaging in
radiotherapy, and Raman spectroscopy.
• The Future of the Profession: A critical analysis of the growing global
shortage of medical physics professionals, with a strategic focus on
expanding graduate programs, establishing residencies (e.g., CAMPEP), and
promoting international certifications.
Why Attend?
This is an extraordinary opportunity for physicists, medical
professionals, researchers, and students to deeply understand the
technological and occupational dynamics of the field. The seminar will not
only provide an exceptional technical framework but also highlight the
importance of mentorship and international scientific collaboration in
tackling global health challenges.
We warmly invite you to join us and explore how physics and innovation
continue to drive better healthcare outcomes worldwide!
