AAPM Reports

Print copies may be purchased from Medical Physics Publishing.

Status of AAPM Reports

This is a report that tracks the current status of AAPM Task Group reports not yet published. Once these reports are published, they will become available for purchase through Medical Physics Publishing. Please note that not all AAPM Task Groups notify Headquarters that they are working on a report.

Status of Non-AAPM Reports

This is a report that tracks the current status of Non-AAPM reports. AAPM does not own the copyright to these reports. Headquarters tracks these reports because they might be of interest to Medical Physicists and/or AAPM members have made a significant contribution to the reports.
