    • Topic: AAPM Webinar on Innovations in Medical Physics Education
      Synopsis: The Arthur Boyer Innovations in Medical Physics Education Award is given for an innovative program in the medical physics education of physicists, physicians, ancillary personnel and the public presented at the AAPM Annual Meeting & Exhibition. Among many excellent submissions and presentations showcasing innovations in education in our field, top presentations will be shared as an encore Webinar presentation. The 2023 award was presented to Sarah Quirk and team, and she will present “A Pan-Canadian Initiative to Apply a Competency-Based Simulation Enhanced Education Framework for Medical Physics Learners in the Clinical Implications and Measurement of Absolute Dosimetry.” The 2023 award was presented to Sarah Quirk and team, and she will present “A Pan-Canadian Initiative to Apply a Competency-Based Simulation Enhanced Education Framework for Medical Physics Learners in the Clinical Implications and Measurement of Absolute Dosimetry.”

    • Webinar #37 | AAPM Webinar Series on Advances in Medical Physics
      Topic: Enabling Digital Twins for Predictive Oncology
      Synopsis: Recently both the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and the National Institutes of Health have spearheaded the efforts in identifying the needs and opportunities to advance digital twins in various applications across science, engineering, and medicine. In radiation oncology, cancer patient digital twins use mechanistic modeling and simulation, high-performance computing, and biotechnologies to build in silico individual representations that dynamically reflect molecular, physiological, clinical, and lifestyle status across different treatments and time. In this talk, we will introduce the principles and basics of digital twins, as well as the latest research and development in how to implement cancer patient digital twins into radiation oncology. Eventually, we hope to see widespread applications of digital twins in the field for personalized cancer care and improved treatment outcomes.

Corgi Phantom:
 The Corgi Phantom is designed to evaluate cone beam CT systems. The modular phantom can be configured for different scan sizes, providing tests for multi-axis high resolution, sensitometry, cone beam artifacts, and uniformity. Additionally, the phantom includes holes for measuring dose.

Liver Phantom:
 The Liver Phantom combines the advantages of objective test objects and anthropomorphic elements for evaluation of advanced iterative processing. The phantom includes low contrast test objects designed both for ROC tests along with conventional patterns, metal artifact inserts, and beads for MTF calculations.
