Preface

The 3rd Annual Scientific Meeting on Medical Physics and Biophysics (PIT-FMB) in conjunction with the 17th South-East Asia Congress of Medical Physics (SEACOMP) was held in Bali, Indonesia from 8 to 10 August 2019. The annual event is aimed to gather medical physics and biophysics communities in Indonesia and South-East Asian region for sharing of knowledge, expertise, scientific discussions, cultural exchange and updates of medical physics activities. The event is also acts as a platform for the establishments of regional education, training and professional developments in medical physics and for the advancement in status and standard of practice of the medical physics profession in the region. The theme for this congress is “Improvement on Patient Care and Safety through the innovation in Medical Physics”. The congress was discussing four main themes: radiotherapy, diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine and biophysics. The committee accepted 178 abstracts from more than 5 participating countries to be presented in the congress, 97 of which were listed as oral contributions and 81 were posters. The congress also had many invited lectures and workshops which discuss many in-depth topics related to the main themes, such as: • radiotherapy: quality assurance, dose calculation, patient safety issue, patient-specific IMRT treatment verification and quality management; • diagnostic radiology: optimization, technical and clinical image quality, multimodality molecular imaging and medical exposure in diagnostic imaging; • nuclear medicine: patient safety and optimization, radionuclide metrology, radiation safety and radiation protection; • biophysics: non-ionizing EMF, sensor for biomedical applications, monte carlo simulation for biological system and nanocellulose composite; List of PIT-FMB and SEACOMP 2019, Scientific Committee, Organising Committee and Reviewers, Organizers, Sponsorship Acknowledgements, Logos are available in this pdf.
