Abstract
Focus issue: Artificial intelligence in medical physics.
Highlights
It is within this context that the EFOMP WG on AI proposed to the Editor-in-Chief of EJMP a focus issue (FI) dedicated to AI in medical physics
Because the application of AI in medicine in general and in medical physics in particular has seen an unprecedented increase in the recent years, the medical physicist pro fession has to keep pace with these changes, and we hope that this Focus Issue will provide a guide for Medical physicists (MPs) who are, or will be involved, in this exciting field
It is certainly not exhaustive, and it lacks some important topics like ethical aspects of AI or a methodological paper on the integration of AI applications in the clinical workflow, which un did not make it through the peer-reviewed process of the invited contributions
Summary
Following on the European Federation of Organisations for Medical Physics (EFOMP) editorial on Artificial Intelligence in relation to the medical physics profession [1], and in order to meet the educational needs of the Medical Physicist (MP) in this new area of AI, EFOMP announced in June 2019 the creation of a 2 years Working Group (WG) entitled “Artificial Intelligence (AI)”. EFOMP identified the need for Medical physicists (MPs) to take up their stakeholders’ role in the era of AI in medicine, by updating their training and education programs This is clearly stated in the EU RP174 presenting European Guidelines on Medical Physics Expert and strengthening the importance of education and training as the founda tions of the MP profession [2]. It is within this context that the EFOMP WG on AI proposed to the Editor-in-Chief of EJMP a focus issue (FI) dedicated to AI in medical physics. Because the application of AI in medicine in general and in medical physics in particular has seen an unprecedented increase in the recent years, the medical physicist pro fession has to keep pace with these changes, and we hope that this Focus Issue will provide a guide for MPs who are, or will be involved, in this exciting field
