Medical Physics is the scientific healthcare profession concerned with the application of the concepts and methods of physics in medicine. The European Federation of Organisations for Medical Physics (EFOMP) acts as the umbrella organization for European Medical Physics societies. Due to the rapid advancements in related scientific fields, medical physicists must have continuous education through workshops, training courses, conferences, and congresses during their professional life. The latest developments related to this increasingly significant medical speciality were presented during the 1st European Congress of Medical Physics 2016, held in Athens, September 1-4, 2016, organized by EFOMP, hosted by the Hellenic Association of Medical Physicists (HAMP), and summarized in the current volume.
医学物理是一门与物理学概念和方法在医学中的应用相关的科学医疗专业。欧洲医学物理组织联合会(EFOMP)是欧洲医学物理学会的伞状组织。由于相关科学领域的快速发展,医学物理学家在其职业生涯中必须通过研讨会、培训课程、会议和大会接受持续教育。与这一日益重要的医学专业相关的最新进展在2016年9月1日至4日于雅典举行的第一届欧洲医学物理大会上进行了展示,该大会由EFOMP组织,希腊医学物理学家协会(HAMP)主办,并汇总于本卷之中。
