About the Meeting

This year's program will be held in the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. The education program and professional program will offer an excellent opportunity to gain practical knowledge on emerging technical and professional issues. The scientific program will feature the latest research in the physics of medical imaging and radiation therapy, including a major focus on the increasing integration on advanced imaging technologies in the guidance of medical therapeutics.
