[Gate-users] Radiation Therapy and Dosimetry working group

[David Sarrut]

Hello,

during the last steering committee of the OpenGate collaboration, it has
been decided to renew the Radiation Therapy and Dosimetry working group
(RTD-WG), initially coordinated by Dimitris Visvikis. The goal of this WG
is to coordinate the exchange of information related to GATE developments
and GATE-related actions in the field of radiation therapy and dosimetry
applications. Our goal is to make sure that the members of the
collaboration involved in that field are well aware of what other members
of the collaboration are doing related to that field.

Examples of such applications include: dose distribution estimation from
photon and electron beams in cancer treatement, hadrontherapy dose and
imaging applications (dose monitoring with PET or prompt-gamma), targeted
radionuclide therapy, brachytherapy, dosimetry in nuclear medicine and so
on.

You can find on this page
http://www.opengatecollaboration.org/Radiation_Therapy_and_Dosimetry_Working_Groupsome
information related to dosimetry and Gate, in particular list of
*simulated systems* and *recommended physic lists*. I hope you find it
useful.

I also would like to emphasis several upcoming related events :
- EW MCTP http://mctp2012.com/
- ESTRO 31 http://www.estro-events.org/Pages/ESTRO31.aspx
- PTCOG 51 http://www.ptcog51.com/

If you want to share *papers*, *thesis* or *events*, please drop me an
email, I will forward the information to the list and update the web site
accordingly.

On behalf of the working group,
David
