5、f health problems through the application of nuclear techniques. The mandate arises from Article II of the IAEAs Statute: “the Agency shall accelerate and enlarge the contribution of atomic energy to health, peace and prosperity throughout the world”.Accurate measurements in radiation dosimetry are
6、vital in a wide range of medical and industrial applications where the results of measurements are critical in decisions relating to human health and safety of radiation workers and members of the public. The development of IAEA-CN-182Page 2standards by primary dosimetry laboratories followed by the
7、ir dissemination to secondary standards dosimetry laboratories and to end-users ensures traceability of measurements to the international system of units (SI). Dosimetry codes of practice (or protocols) are used in conjunction with the dosimetry standards to ensure optimized use of radiation in medi
8、cine. Uniformity is equally important in dosimetry, especially for collaborative multi-centre studies or clinical trials.In radiation protection, the uncertainty in the dosimetry may be greater than for therapy and diagnostic X rays, but proper traceability of the measurements with a defined level o
9、f uncertainty is equally as important. In recent years, new developments have occurred in dosimetry standards, audits and QA guidance, especially in the field of external radiotherapy, brachytherapy, nuclear medicine and diagnostic radiology. There is a need for scientific exchange at international
10、level and review of status of dosimetry and applications in medical dosimetry. ObjectivesThe major goal of the symposium is to provide a forum where advances in radiation dosimetry during the last decade, in radiation medicine and radiation protection can be disseminated and scientific knowledge exc
11、hanged. It will include all specialties in radiation medicine and radiation protection dosimetry with a specific focus on those areas where the standardization of dosimetry has improved in the recent years (brachytherapy, diagnostic radiology and nuclear medicine). It will also summarize the present
12、 status and outline future trends in medical radiation dosimetry and identify possible areas for improvement. Its conclusions and summaries should lead to the formulation of recommendations for the scientific community.Target audienceThis symposium will be of interest to a broad spectrum of medical
13、physicists and other scientists working in radiation dosimetry with responsibilities in the following fields: radiation metrology, external beam radiotherapy with photons, electrons and hadrons, brachytherapy including intravascular techniques, diagnostic radiology including CT, mammography and inte
14、rventional procedures, nuclear medicine and radiation protection dosimetry.The symposium will give an opportunity for scientists in medical institutions, research centres, universities and standards laboratories to meet for discussions covering the entire dosimetry chain.Programme StructureThe sympo
15、sium will consist of 16 sessions: four sessions per day of approx. 90 min each, including the opening session, a series of topical sessions with oral and poster presentations, a round-table session and a concluding session.The opening session will include welcoming addresses followed by at least one
16、 keynote presentation that will discuss the accuracy requirements in medical radiation dosimetry, in an overview which includes radiotherapy, diagnostic radiology and nuclear medicine.Page 3A series of topical sessions will then cover selected areas of medical radiation dosimetry, from standards laboratories to the medical application in radiotherapy, diagnostic radiology and nuclear medicine. Each topical session will include one or two keynote invited pre
