EFOMP Special Interest Group on Radionuclide Internal Dosimetry (SIGFRID) 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 180 Medical Physicists (January 2024) 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 SIGFRID 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 2025 - 2026. 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 Special Interest Group on Dental Imaging (SIG_DENTAL_IMAGING) webinar series

About SIG_DENTAL_IMAGING

The EFOMP hereby announces a new Special Interest Group (SIG) entitled “Dental Imaging”. The SIG will operate under the Scientific and Education & Training Committees and is established as a permanent structure of EFOMP. The SIG has been approved during the EFOMP Spring Officers meeting in Helsinki in May 2022 and presented to Council in Dublin in August 2022.

The rationale of this SIG

The rationale of the SIG: The high frequency of dental imaging, and the recent surge in the use of Cone Beam CT, warrants an active role of MPs in this field. In particular, private practitioners tend to work more independently, and can benefit the most from an increased and more dedicated involvement of Medical Physicists. Practices between European countries vary considerably e.g. legislation, recognition of oral radiology specialty. There is a need to evaluate these differences and harmonize the current practices.
