EFOMP in collaboration with the Italian Association of Medical Physics (AIFM) would like to invite you to the next ESMPE on 24th-26thOctober 2024.
MRI is unquestionably the most complex but also the richest and most versatile imaging method. Although inherently quantitative, MRI has been used largely as a qualitative imaging technique, with the main limitation being the subjective nature of the results. An increasing number of diagnostic problems in clinical medicine require a quantitative assessment of tissue structure, physiology and function, which demand in-depth and systematic training.
This course is addressed at medical physicists who seek a general overview of the basic principles of MR imaging, from signal generation to image reconstruction, with a special focus on optimization and quantification techniques. Technological advances in hardware as well as in software will be presented, including advanced MR sequences used in clinical routine and artifact management. The importance of standardization in clinical quantitative MRI will be underlined and an emphasis will be placed on quality assurance and multicenter comparison, including safety aspects.
This two-and-half day event will be accredited by EBAMP (European Board of Accreditation forMedical Physics) and is intended for practicing clinical Medical Physicists who are involved in clinalMRI. This course has been accredited by EBAMP as a CPD event for Medical Physicists at EQF Level 8 (26 CPDs + 9 CPDs for attendees who also successfully pass the exam).
ESMPE have decided this event to be in a hybrid format. All talks will be given their on-site in Milan
but participants can choose to attend the school on-site (limited number of participants) or online.

EFOMP, in collaboration with the Czech Association of Medical Physicists (CAMP) and COCIR invite you to the next ESMPE on AI in Medical Physics. The school will be organized as a 2.5 days hybrid (remote and in presence) meeting, which will be held in Prague from 5th to 7th of October 2023.
The school will focus on advanced Medical Physics aspects of Artificial Intelligence and aims at presenting practical methodology, state-of-the-art and future developments of AI. In order to be able to participate to the school, the remote self-training part, available at https://e-learning.efomp.org/ , needs to be completed. Students who did not attend the on-line and propaedeutic module of the school will not be able to enroll to the face-to-face event.
The School is accredited by EBAMP (European Board of Accreditation for Medical Physics) as a CPD event for Medical Physicists at EQF Level 8 with 41 CPD points. Attendees who also successfully pass the course examinations obtain an extra 17 CPD points for an overall total of 58 CPD points. The School is intended for Medical Physicists or associated professions who wish to expand their knowledge in Artificial intelligence. ESMPE have decided this event will be in a hybrid format. All lecturers will give their talks on-site in Prague but participants can choose if they want to attend the school on-site (limited number of participants) or online, it will be live-streamed.
Content for the face to face event
- AI for dose and protocol optimization
- AI for workflow optimization and automation
- Advanced Quality Assurance for AI medical devices
- Regulatory aspects
- Session with industry (only for in presence)

This one day satellite meeting will be held in conjunction with the 3rd European Congress of Medical Physics and teaching sessions covering the main topics of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and focusing mainly on Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL).
These methods are becoming increasingly essential in the field of medical physics and healthcare in general. The methods are also developing fast and there is a clear need to provide training of the fundamentals and recent findings concerning AI/ML/DL techniques to medical physicists in Europe.
This is the motivation to create this ESMPE module. The event will be accredited by EBAMP (European Board for Accreditation in Medical Physics) and is intended for practising clinical Medical Physicists who are involved in any of our sub-fields. The main lecture topics are related to radiology and radiation therapy applications.

The Hellenic Association of Medical Physics (HAMP) and the Medical Physics Unit of the 2nd Dept. of Radiology, Medical School, National and Kapodistrian, University of Athens would like to invite you to an online workshop in non ionizing and ionizing radiation against COVID-19. The workshop will be organized as a 3 hours virtual meeting and will be held on 9th July 2021, 16:30-19:50 CEST. It aims at presenting the main aspects regarding the use of ionising and non ionising radiations against SARS CoV2 and Covid19. Specifically, the workshop includes an introductory session on SARS cov2, followed by a session on the use of non ionizing radiation for protection purposes against the coronavirus. The third session focuses on the use of ionizing radiation for diagnostic and treatment purposes in the fight against Covid19. This one-day event is accredited by EBAMP (European Board of Accreditation for Medical Physics) as a CPD event for Medical Physicists at EQF Level 7 and awarded 11 CPD credit points.
