From: james@rover.bsd.uchicago.edu
Subject: CALL TO VOTE: sci.med.physics
Organization: University of Chicago - Dept. Rad. Onc. and Med. Physics
I would like to call for a vote on the formation of a Medical Physics
newsgroup (Sci.Med.Physics), which would deal with most applications of
Physics in Medicine. Based on my own experiences in medical imaging and in the
Graduate Program in Medical Physics that I am currently in, I would like to see
features generally related to imaging and radiation therapy, but I can easily
see the applicability to biophysics and related fields. Topics include (but
are not limited to):
Biomechanics
Biophysics
Basic interactions of radiation with matter
" " living systems
Methods of Generating diagnostic information:
NMR (MRI) imaging systems
CT (computed tomography)
Projection Radiography (including angiography and the new MEGAVOLTAGE
imaging systems in Radiation therapy, as well as computed Radiography)
Ultrasound
Nuclear medicine imaging systems (eg. Gamma Camera, PET, SPECT,...)
Thermography
MEG
EEG
EKG
Electric Impedence Tomography
Image Communication
Computer aided diagnosis
All fields of analysis applied to medical images
So on
Methods used in Radiation therapy, including:
Simulation and verification methods
2D and 3D treatment planning
Electrons, protons and assorted heavy ions
Neutron therapy
Quality assurance
Brachytherapy
Monoclonal Antibody imaging/treatment methods
The call for votes is cross listed in the groups sci.physics and comp.graphics
All votes (YES and NO) will be taken by james@rover.uchicago.edu
Thank you for your attention.
Sincerely,
James Balter
