18th Asia-Oceania Congress of Medical Physics (AOCMP) & 16th South-East Asia Congress of Medical Physics (SEACOMP)

Abstract

PrefaceThe 18th Asia-Oceania Congress of Medical Physics (AOCMP) in conjunction with the 16th South-East Asia Congress of Medical Physics (SEACOMP) was held in Kuala Lumpur from 11 to 14 November 2018. The annual event is aimed to gather medical physics communities in the Asia-Oceania region for the sharing of knowledge, expertise, scientific discussions, cultural exchange and updates of medical physics activities. Besides, the event is a platform for the establishments of regional education, training and professional developments in medical physics and for the advancement in status and standard of practice of the medical physics profession in the region. The theme for this congress is “A Sustainable Future for Medical Physics”. This is the second time the congress is held in Malaysia. The first AOCMP organised in Malaysia was in year 2004.300 abstracts from 28 countries were accepted for the congress, 151 were oral contributions and 149 were posters. The congress also had many invited lectures by international and local experts. The congress was divided into three main themes; imaging, therapy and others (including radiobiology and radiation protection).83 papers are included in this proceedings volume organised into the three main themes (1) imaging: CT dose optimisation & image quality, non-ionising imaging, nuclear medicine imaging, radiography, mammography and tomosynthesis; (2) therapy: radiotherapy dose verification, radiotherapy image guidance & motion management, quality assurance & commissioning, treatment planning, particle therapy, brachytherapy; and (3) others: medical physics education, radiation detector, radiation protection & safety, radiobiology & biophysics.All articles published in this volume of Journal of Physics: Conference Series have been peer reviewed through processes administered by the proceedings Editors. Each article was peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers from the scientific committee and appointed reviewers based on their field of expertise. Reviews were conducted by expert referees to the professional and scientific standards expected of a proceedings journal published by IOP Publishing.Many thanks to all invited speakers, oral presenters and poster presenters for their participation and to the Organising Committee members for all their hard work in making the congress happen. Thanks to all authors who submitted the manuscript of the work presented at the congress to be included in the volume. The Scientific Committee members and reviewers are also thanked for reviewing the submitted manuscripts and improve the scientific quality of this proceedings. Finally, thanks to all who attended the congress and the sponsors for their financial support.Editors, Proceedings of AOCMP SEACOMP 2018Hafiz M Zin.
