EFOMP in collaboration with the Croatian Medical Physics Association (CROMPA) and University of Zagreb School of Medicine (UZSM) would like to invite you to the next ESMPE on 18th-20th September 2025. The school will be aimed to introduce the basic and also advanced concepts of interventional radiology practices for medical physicist. It will cover the latest updates on quality assurance for interventional X-ray units. Participants will receive an introductory overview of radiation effects in interventional radiology, including patient and skin dose management. Various types of interventional procedures, ranging from interventional cardiology to interventional radiology, will be explored. Additionally, companies will present and discuss the latest technologies used in interventional radiology.
This two-and-half day event is accredited by EBAMP (European Board of Accreditation for Medical Physics) as CPD event for Medical Physicists at EQF Level 8 (Accreditation no. APP-00335) and is intended for practicing clinical Medical Physicists who are involved or interested in diagnostic and interventional radiology. There will be an optional examination at the end for those seeking a higher level of certification beyond attendance.
This event will be in a hybrid format. All lecturers will give their talks on-site in Zagreb, but participants can choose if they want to attend the school on-site or online, it will be live-streamed.
Please note: All times shown are in CET

EFOMP, in collaboration with COCIR, the Czech Association of Medical Physicists and the Department of Dosimetry and Application of Ionizing Radiation of Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague invite you to the next ESMPE on 26th-28th January 2023.
The school will be aimed at different aspects of CT imaging, from the basics to advanced level in different areas. Moreover, it will cover current hot topics, such as lung cancer screening and photon-counting CT. And finally, attendees should get to know what the role of medical physicists can be in the future.
This two-and-a-half day event will be accredited by EBAMP (European Board of Accreditation for Medical Physics) and is intended for practicing clinical Medical Physicists who are involved in CT imaging. As in past school editions, there will be an optional examination at the end for those seeking a higher level of certification beyond attendance. 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

The EFOMP and COCIR (The European Coordination Committee of the Radiological, Electromedical and Healthcare IT Industry) in collaboration with the Czech Association of Medical Physicists and the Department of Dosimetry and Application of Ionizing Radiation of Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague would like to present the ESMPE e-learning course on Interventional Radiology 2019, obtained from the school's registration of EFOMP Summer School 2019.
The school will be aimed at advanced tasks connected with Angiographic Equipment. The school will particularly focus on advanced tasks , covering the main physics aspects of the angiographic equipment technology, patient and staff dosimetry and optimization.
The School is jointly organized by EFOMP and COCIR and is endorsed by ESR. Lecturers identified by COCIR will give insides on the new trends for angiographic equipment.
The two-and-half day event has been accredited by EBAMP (European Board of Accreditation for Medical Physics) as CPD event for Medical Physicists at EQF Level 8 and awarded 34 CPD credit points (25 CPD credit points for those who do not sit for or do not pass the examination) and is intended for practicing clinical Medical Physicists who are involved in the Interventional field.
EFOMP and ESMPE hugely wish to thank all the speakers who have dedicated and shared some of their valuable and precious time to the success of this experience for the benefit and professional growth of our MPE Community. We look forward to welcoming them again.
