The first part of this webinar focuses on the theoretical aspects of small field dosimetry, whereas the second part – to be held 12 November – presents the best practice in small field dosimetry based on TRS 483 protocol.

This meeting has applied to CAMPEP for approval of one MPCEC hour, and to EBAMP for approval for one CME credit.

The participants of this webinar, presented by Dr Lutz Müller and Dr Hui Khee Looe, will get more insight into the following topics:

• What is special about small radiation fields?
• Perturbation effects – the interaction between detector and small photon fields.
• Strengths and limitations of specific detectors.
• Correction factors in SF protocols.
• Application of codes of practice for small field dosimetry, mainly IAEA/AAPM TRS 483.
• Possible pitfalls in small field dosimetry.

After his PhD, he worked in experimental nuclear physics research at the National Nuclear Physics Institute in Padua, Italy. In 2000 he joined IBA Dosimetry and is currently Director of IBA’s International Competence Center (ICC). Hui Khee Looe (right) is Deputy Head of the Department of Medical Physics, University Clinic for Medical Radiation Physics and Radiation Protection, Pius Hospital, Oldenburg, Germany, and holds a PhD from Oldenburg University. He leads a research group on Computational Methods in Dosimetry and has a strong interest in Small Field Dosimetry.
