Reasons for Attending or not Attending

In person attendance at IEC MT30 meetings is critical to shaping these standards in a manner that is consistent with the science and practice guidelines coming out of the AAPM.
Issues from Previous Meetings or Year:

None
General Description of Activities of the Organization and/or Meeting:

In September, 2015, I had the opportunity to host the meeting of Maintenance Team 30 (CT) and Project Team 62985 (SSDE) in Rochester, MN. My Dept. graciously covered all coffee and snack breaks and provided the meeting room. It was a productive meeting and an opportunity to have a high attendance from AAPM members.

The new project team was convened specifically to create a standard for Size Specific Dose Estimates, a quantity developed and advanced by AAPM (Report 204).
Issues for AAPM:

Continued and increased participation by AAPM experts in IEC activities remains critical for maintaining a positive influence on these IEC standards, which are otherwise developed predominantly by manufacturers. AAPM members do an excellent job of advocating for the best science and clinical practice.
Budget Request ($):

Budget for travel is now rolled into the Working Group for IEC Coordination (WGIEC)
