CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS IN MEDICAL RADIATION PHYSICS AND RADIATION PROTECTION

Mattsson, Sören LU (2024) 11th International Conference on Medical Physics, 2024 In Medical physics – the current status, problems, the way of development. Innovation technologies 2024. p.80-88
Abstract

The paper reviews current trends and future directions for diagnostics and therapy with ionizing radiation. Recent advances in medical physics applied to radiation therapy, diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine, MRI, and radiation safety are summarized. Today, much of the development is concentrated on providing conditions for individualized diagnostics and therapy for the patient, which requires increased precision and accuracy in both radiological diagnostics and radiotherapy. Areas of active development are the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for improved and more efficient diagnostics and therapy, theranostics, radiomics and dosiomics. All these approaches are parts of the so-called precision or personalized medicine. The... (More)

The paper reviews current trends and future directions for diagnostics and therapy with ionizing radiation. Recent advances in medical physics applied to radiation therapy, diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine, MRI, and radiation safety are summarized. Today, much of the development is concentrated on providing conditions for individualized diagnostics and therapy for the patient, which requires increased precision and accuracy in both radiological diagnostics and radiotherapy. Areas of active development are the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for improved and more efficient diagnostics and therapy, theranostics, radiomics and dosiomics. All these approaches are parts of the so-called precision or personalized medicine. The ongoing revision of the ICRP's radiation protection recommendations is also commented on. For dose and risk estimates in diagnostic applications (X-ray imaging, CT, interventional radiology, diagnostic nuclear medicine) a change from population-based average phantoms, calculation methods and risk figures to patient-specific calculation methods, phantoms and risk figures (as is done in radiotherapy) is proposed.
