The 25th Annual Meeting of the Council on Ionizing Radiation Measurements and Standards will focus on Past, Present and Future. For more than twenty years, CIRMS has played an important role in serving as a public forum for discussion of radiation measurements and standards issues for industry, academia and government.
The technical program next year will consist of oral and poster presentations and three parallel working group sessions that address measurement and standards needs in the following
topics:
- Medical Applications [diagnostic imaging, radiation therapy, radiation biology, nuclear medicine, proton therapy, fluoroscopy, real time imaging for orthopedic applications]
- Radiation Protection and Homeland Security [radiochemistry, waste analysis, personnel dosimetry, electronic dosimeters, bioassay and internal dosimetry environmental dosimetry, first responder needs]
- Industrial Applications and Materials Effects [dosimetry for radiation processing, radiobiology, low dose standards, safety at radiation facilities, food irradiation]
