EFOMP Special Interest Group on Radionuclide Internal Dosimetry (SIG_FRID) webinar series

About SIGFRID

The objective of the Special Interest Group for Radionuclide Internal Dosimetry (SIG_FRID) is to establish a network of medical physicists working in radionuclide dosimetry. The SIG aims to fulfil the need for networking, education, research and professional exchanges in this field. The SIG_FRID was created in February 2021 and has a membership of  279  Medical Physicists (March 2026) specialised in this subfield.

The rationale of this SIG

Therapeutic applications in nuclear medicine are developing rapidly. They use a growing range of vectors (simple vector molecules, peptides, antibodies), medical devices (radiolabelled microspheres) and radioactive isotopes (beta, but also alpha or Auger). Due to this variety, the characterisation of the irradiation delivered to the patient is at the same time stimulating and challenging. Nevertheless, treatment planning and verification in nuclear medicine therapy, seldom performed in the past in radioiodine therapy for benign or malignant thyroid disease, is nowadays requested (implementation in national law of the Basic Safety Standard Council Directive EU 2013/59). Moreover, reliable absorbed dose calculations are now available thanks to technological and scientific developments of the last decades. More information about SIG_FRID could be found via this link.

SIGFRID is oranising scientific meetings and case reports. A scientific meeting usually includes 3 x 30 min talks, followed by a general discussion (30 min) and a case report 30 min talk, followed by a general discussion (30 min).

Educational courses will complement the scientific meetings and case reports in 2026 - 2027. This initiative will cater profesionnals and students seeking to learn and expand their expertise in  nuclear medicine dosimetry.

Case reports are open to all, but Scientific meetings are restricted to SIG_FRID members.

EFOMP European & International Matters Committee webinar series

About European & International Matters Committee

About Early Career Special Interest Group 

The European & international Matters Committee is responsible to the Council of the Federation for the representation of the interest of the Federation to the various bodies across the European Union and beyond.

This year, the committee will organise a series of webinars together with the EFOMP Special Interest Group on Early Careers.

EFOMP Special Interest Groups on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (SIG_MRI) and Artificial Intelligence (SIG_AI) webinar series

About SIG_MRI

The target of the SIG is to establish a network of medical physicists (MPs and MPEs) working in the field of MRI, addressing issues related to MRI Safety, MR quality, and with a focus on the clinical activities.

The increasing role and activities of MPEs and MPs in MRI Safety, MRI Quality Assurance, including QCs both in clinical and research applications, strongly suggest the creation of an EFOMP SIG for networking, education, research and professional discussion in the field. Furthermore, emerging advanced techniques and systems, such as MRI-LINAC, hybrid imaging modalities with MRI, ultra-low field and ultra-high field systems, as well as the use of AI in MRI, require a network of specific expertise.

This SIG will operate under the Scientific Comittee and is established as a permanent structure of EFOMP.

About SIG_AI

Artificial intelligence has been on the forefront of research over the past few years in different areas concerning the medical physics field. This research concerns all specialities of Medical Physics including Nuclear Medicine, Radiology, Radiotherapy and Radiation Protection, covering fields from image improvement and analysis to target volume definition and dosimetry applications. Current research in AI has moved beyond the "hype" phase and primarily concerns (i). impact evaluation of proposed algorithms through multi-centre studies and challenges; (ii). the development of robust, reproducible and explainable AI solutions. 

This SIG will operate under the Projects Comittee and is established as a permanent structure of EFOMP.
