The EFOMP working group on the Role of Medical Physics Experts (MPEs) in Clinical Trials was established in 2010, with experts from across Europe and different areas of medical physics. Their main aims were: (1) To develop a consensus guidance document for the work MPEs do in clinical trials across Europe. (2) Complement the work by American colleagues in AAPM TG 113 and guidance from National Member Organisations. (3) To cover external beam radiotherapy, brachytherapy, nuclear medicine, molecular radiotherapy, and imaging. This document outlines the main output from this working group. Giving guidance to MPEs, and indeed all Medical Physicists (MP) and MP trainees wishing to work in clinical trials. It also gives guidance to the wider multidisciplinary team, advising where MPEs must legally be involved, as well as highlighting areas where MPEs skills and expertise can really add value to clinical trials.
EFOMP 工作组的临床试验中的医学物理专家（MPE）的作用于 2010 年成立，有来自欧洲各地和医学物理的不同领域的专家。他们的主要目标是：（1）制定一份共识指导文件为 MPE 在整个欧洲的临床试验中的工作。（2）补充美国同事在 AAPM TG 113 中的工作和国家成员组织的指导。（3）涵盖外照射放疗、近距离放射治疗、核医学、分子放疗和影像。这份文件概述了该工作组的主要成果。为 MPE 提供指导，实际上为所有希望在临床试验中工作的医学物理学家（MP）和 MP 学员提供指导。它还为更广泛的多学科团队提供指导，建议 MPE 必须合法参与的地方，以及强调 MPE 的技能和专业知识可以真正为临床试验增加价值的领域。
