OMA Fellow Anna Baratto Roldán presents her research at two events in Spain
During 14-15 June, Anna attended the “II Jornadas RSEF/IFIMED de Física Médica”, a two-day workshop organized by the Spanish Royal Society of Physics and the Institute of Medical Physics in Madrid which aims to gather the Spanish medical physics community and share achievements and results. She gave a talk entitled Proton RBE at low energies: preparation of a new radiobiology beam line at the 18 MeV proton cyclotron facility at CAN (Seville, Spain).
Anna also attended the “International Scientific Meeting on Nuclear Physics – La Rábida 2018”, a summer school on nuclear physics held at La Rábida, Huelva (Spain) every three years. The school is intended for PhD students and young postdocs working in the field of nuclear physics, and the topics covered aspects from basic theory to technological applications.
This year, from the point of view of applications, Prof. Dr. Katia Parodi, Professor of Medical Physics at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München and supervisor of the OMA project Advanced Monte Carlo and imaging methods project, gave a series of lectures on “Medical image processing, treatment planning and PET applications” which were very interesting and gave rise to a fruitful discussion.
Anna presenting her poster at “La Rábida 2018” school, Huelva, Spain
Anna presented a poster on the Development of a new radiobiology beam line for the study of proton RBE, at the 18 MeV proton cyclotron facility at CNA (Seville, Spain), which discussed the results of her project, and received helpful and positive feedback.
