Description
As a follow-up to CRP E23005, a new CRP proposal titled "Advanced Tools for Education, Audit, and Quality Assurance in Radiopharmaceutical Therapy Dosimetry" was developed. This initiative will focus on creating advanced QA tools, expanding comprehensive training programs, and establishing audit systems to minimize variability and enhance dosimetry precision. The ultimate goal is to ensure accuracy, reliability, and reproducibility in RPT dosimetry, improving patient outcomes and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration. The new CRP is expected to span five years and involve multiple international institutions, providing tools and training resources for medical physicists in member states. As a prerequisite this CRP will also evaluate the minimum standard of requirements for medical physicists working in RPT, ensuring that professionals possess the necessary qualifications, skills, and training to deliver accurate dosimetry and patient-specific care. By establishing and disseminating these standards, the CRP will further support the development of a global workforce capable of meeting the evolving demands of radiopharmaceutical therapy.
Objectives
Strengthen the status of Radiopharmaceutical Therapy (RPT) dosimetry in member states by implementing relevant tools for quality control, audit and education. Definition of the minimal standard of the requirements of medical physicists working on RPT.
Specific Objectives:
1. Develop, review standardised tools and test objects (phantoms, patient and models) and associated software for clinical dosimetry (Education, Audit and Quality Assurance),
2. Develop advanced training materials focused on clinical dosimetry education for medical physicists, clinicians, and technologists, ensuring comprehensive coverage of medical physics components.
3. Test the generated products within the nuclear medicine community and evaluate the impact of the established training and optimisation strategies on RPT quality and consistency
4. Develop guidelines for the minimal standard of the requirements of medical physicists working on RPT
