The first scientific workshop for stakeholders “European Workshop on Quantitative Imaging for molecular radiotherapy – metrology for clinical practice” took place in BEV, Vienna, Austria, 5-6 April 2017.
Workshop agenda is available here .
The workshop was focused on calibration and validation of quantitative imaging for dosimetry in molecular radiotherapy as well as providing an introduction and overview of the EMPIR MRTDosimetry project devoted to providing state of the art dosimetry and protocols for clinical practice.
Emphasis was given to presentation and discussion of methods currently implemented at different centres and establishing an effective forum for discussion. The aim of the workshop was to agree on standard calibration methods that can be developed by the MRTDosimetry project as the basis of an international dosimetry protocol. It is important that the experience of the MRT community is represented as widely as possible.
