    FANC-AFC, Ravensteinstraat 36, 1000 Brussel

    Scientific meeting “Proton therapy – From the Need to the Solution”


    Goal : Since a few years, a new type of installation is foreseen in Belgium : the famous “Proton-Therapy”. Based on the medical needs and justifications, the aim of the meeting is to present the state of the art, regarding the dosimetric calculation by the Medical Physicist and the technical specifications of the installation. The last presentation will define the radiation protection around this kind of installations.
