COLLOQUIUM PROGRAMME Invited Professor: Prof. Franco Milano Institute: University of Florence Venue: Department of Nuclear Physics and Nuclear Engineering, University of Science, VNU-HCM Time: Monday, April 24, 2017, 9h30-11h30 Topic: “Patient dose evaluation: how to meet the goal in x-ray radio diagnostics and external beam radiotherapy” Abstract: A review of methods to determine patient dose in x-ray imaging is given taking into account models and experimental data. Due to the specific different approach for patient dose determination in external beam radiotherapy, the complex process from planning to dose delivering is outlined, stressing the essential need to reach a high accuracy and precision in the whole process.
