IAEA section of dosimetry and medical radiation physics (DMRP).

Abstract

The Dosimetry and Medical Radiation Physics (DMRP) section works on the Quality Assurance (QA) aspects of the use of radiation in medicine to ensure safety and effectiveness. Furthermore, it contributes to the increase in scientific and technical capacity in medical physics worldwide by fostering research and development in dosimetry techniques and playing a role in the education and training of medical physicists. The primary beneficiaries of these activities are hospital patients undergoing therapy and diagnosis with radiation, radiation workers who benefit from the standardization of radiation protection measurements and the general public due to improved dosimetry practice. DMRP also provides two types of service directly to Member States: dosimetry calibration and dosimetry auditing.
